The Janesville Police Department’s Domestic Violence Intervention (DVI) team was implemented in February 2010 with the goal to reduce the number of domestic violence incidents in the City of Janesville.Domestic violence is often a repeatable occurrence and it seemed to the Department as though many victims were not using the support services available to them. The DVI team officers review all domestic violence related police reports and then conduct follow up contact with the victims. We hope to reduce domestic violence incidents by increasing victim utilization of local resources while providing prosecutors with highly detailed investigative reports so that repeat offenders can be prosecuted. The DVI team partners with community organizations including the YWCA, local hospitals, and the Office of the District Attorney to aid in accomplishing this goal.
