Overview: A domestic violence victim who is strangled is 750 times more likely to be a victim of domestic violence homicide than any other domestic violence victim. An individual who commits a domestic violence strangulation is more likely to be involved in a police involved shooting. This training will cover the development and implementation of a strangulation protocol from the 911 call through the prosecution. The training will cover questions that should be asked by 911 operators and the first officers on scene. We will examine what the investigators should look/listen for and the use of forensic nurses for strangulation exams. Finally we will cover how the evidence can be presented at trial.
