Police Campaign Targets Domestic Violence

Police Campaign Targets Domestic Violence

Informative Door-Hangers Distributed As Prelude To National Campaign



CHICAGO -- Chicago police, armed with 25,000 informative door-hangers, began a campaign Monday morning designed to curb domestic violence.
Police officers and dozens of volunteers are distributing the door-hangers in all 25 police districts and talking to residents in an effort to raise awareness about domestic violence, according to a news release.
This event is a prelude to the National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, which takes place in October, Chicago Police Department Domestic Violence Program Development Coordinator Aileen Robinson said. The program continually makes these types of distributions throughout the year, Robinson said.
"We really try to put the police out front as an important factor in combating this type of violence," the program coordinator added.
In Chicago, police and relative agencies receive an average of 560 domestic violence-related calls each day, Robinson said, asserting that these numbers are not as alarming as they appear.
"Chicago is very comparable for a city of our size. It's (domestic violence) really a universal problem," Robinson said.
Monday's campaign began in the Central, Englewood and Lincoln police districts and will extend through Sept. 25. It attempts to remind residents about the importance of reporting domestic violence and instructs them to call 911 if someone is in danger, the release stated.
The handouts also contain nonemergency phone numbers for victims. For example, each police district has a domestic violence liaison officer, specializing in this type of abuse, who can be contacted for assistance, Robinson said.

Yeah, I like hearing about it, but you would not believe how stupid Chicago Cops really are when it comes to DV.
