The National Prevention Toolkit

on Officer-Involved Domestic Violence and Human Trafficking

Georgia

Georgia has a model policy for civilian domestic violence, but Georgia does not have a stand-alone officer-involved domestic violence policy. Georgia’s civilian policy makes only a brief reference to officer-involved domestic violence. The policy calls for departments to take a zero tolerance stance towards officer-involved domestic violence. Further, the policy states that a supervisor should be called to the scene of an officer-involved incident, and the supervisor should ensure timely completion of administrative reports.
