Dealing with the incident:
• Diffuse the violence

• Do not blame the victim or make comments that could indicate fault on the victim’s part (for example, avoid questions such as “what did you do to make him/her angry?”)
• Locate and interview the complaining party
• Locate and interview the involved parties
• Locate an interpreter if necessary
o Contact the local family violence program if special assistance is needed

• Locate witnesses and interview
• Determine if any weapons were involved or are in the residence and secure them if necessary
• Observe and listen when responding to family violence situations
o 80% of crisis situations can be diffused through listening
o Always ask any children what happened out of sight and hearing of the adults…and document their response
• Inform all parties what action is to be taken. If arresting, advise victim of intention. Explain that arrest is taking place because the law has been broken
• Take photos of the victims, suspects, children and the scene as appropriate
• Apply report-writing techniques for documenting domestic violence incidents
• Document everything! Even if the victim is unavailable for trial, your report could result in a good case and a conviction if it is accurate and thorough
