Law Enforcement Advocacy
Catalyst communicates with law enforcement to ensure that victims connect with an advocate as soon as possible after a domestic violence incident.
Catalyst communicates with law enforcement to ensure that victims connect with an advocate as soon as possible after a domestic violence incident. Survivors can also connect with us directly after a recent interaction with law enforcement.
Advocates provide follow up services such as:
- Assistance making or accessing a police report
- Following up with the responding officer
- Filing a restraining order
- Getting connected to other supportive services
In collaboration with the Prevention and Outreach Program, Advocates offer training for local law enforcement agencies.
