The National Prevention Toolkit
on Officer-Involved Domestic Violence and Human Trafficking
Officer-Involved Domestic Violence and Human Trafficking Training
Our new free training on human trafficking is now available to LEO professionals. The domestic violence toolkit can still be accessed by scrolling down to the Access Training section of this page and clicking on the Domestic Violence tab.
About the Toolkit
The National Prevention Toolkit on Officer Involved Domestic Violence and Human Trafficking is a project of the Law Enforcement Families Partnership (LEFP) at the Institute for Family Violence Studies within Florida State University’s College of Social Work. The Toolkit is part of a broad-based effort to educate officers and support healthy families and communities. Please note that the domestic violence training is not a batterer intervention program and is not for use when violence has already occurred.
The goals of the domestic violence training are:
- To educate officers about the dynamics and impact of officer-involved domestic violence.
- To support a law enforcement culture that prioritizes prevention efforts and officer/family wellness.
- To encourage officers to ask for help when they need it before violence occurs.
- To disseminate and reinforce the message: “Preventing Violence Begins at Home.”
