Getting tough on domestic violence

Police in Dagenham will be clamping down on domestic violence with a new mobile response unit- the first of it鈥檚 kind in the capital.

They鈥檝e teamed up with London Ambulance Service to provide a rapid response service to deal with calls about domestic abuse.

Across the country police receive calls like this every two minutes, and in Barking and Dagenham calls peak on Friday and Saturday evenings. But now victims will be able to contact a new Domestic Violence Emergency Response Team (DVERT), which will include police and ambulance staff.

A team including a police officer, member of the ambulance听 service and a trained support worker who will give advice on issues such as placement in a refuge. The team will operate on Friday and Saturday nights between 7pm and 3am.

It鈥檚 on a similar scheme which was successful in Ohio, America. Detective Inspector Shab Chaudhri from the Barking and Dagenham Police听 said "Barking and Dagenham Police welcome this golden opportunity to continue to work in partnership to reduce repeat victimisation and prevent domestic violence within our community.

鈥淥ver the past few months, police, ambulance staff and domestic violence support workers have worked together, to hold perpetrators to account and offered support to victims and their families.鈥

He continued 鈥渨e will do everything we can to ensure the victims do not suffer in silence. Domestic violence is a crime and we will continue to adhere to our positive arrest policy."听

If you or anyone else you know is living with domestic you can call the Barking and Dagenham Domestic Violence Advocacy Service on 020 8227 2133
