Domestic violence calls are some of the most dangerous calls an officer can respond to. Effective intervention in domestic violence situations can reduce future risk for both the victim and the responding officer. This four hour training addresses two crucial factors in domestic violence investigation: strangulation and predominant aggressor determination.

Training Topics Include:

  • Identifying strangulation in domestic violence cases
  • Prevalence and effects of strangulation
  • Effective documentation of strangulation
  • Strangulation-related statutes in Louisiana
  • Advanced domestic violence dynamics
  • Predominant aggressor determination
  • Identifying self-defense in domestic violence
  • Documentation of predominant aggressor factors
