Domestic Violence is a crime and is treated as a serious matter
by the police. The police service has Domestic Violence Officers
who have specialist training and there is a Domestic Violence
Unit in every district. The police should be sympathetic and
should offer support, information about police procedure and
legal proceedings. The police work in partnership with many
statutory and voluntary agencies who have qualified staff to
provide emotional and practical support.
The PSNI says that it has a policy of positive action when attending
reported domestic incidents and will arrest the perpetrator
where there is sufficient evidence.
If you find yourself under serious threat or involved in an
incident of domestic violence you can dial 999 for assistance.
