Domestic violence workshop postponed

The MPD Fourth District domestic violence workshop rescheduled for February 6 has canceled until further notice due to the winter storm.    Should you require information about domestic violence (non-emergency), contact Officer Chante Brodie, chante (dot) brodie (at) dc (dot) gov.

Domestic violence workshop

Domestic violence is an issue affecting thousands of DC residents in each year.   The DC Coalition Against Domestic Violence (DCCADV) reports that in 2005, 4,948 people were served at the two Domestic Violence Intake Centers in the city – Superior Court and a SE Washington satellite center.

Of the 2,556 intake center clients who indicated residency, only 6% indicated they resided in Wards 1, 3 and 6 (and outside DC).   Still, 6% is too many.

MPD’s Fourth District is sponsoring a domestic violence workshop, "Hope, Learn, and Heal", on February 6 from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm.   More information about the workshop is in the flier, below.
