 Domestic Violence is a crime that can result in serious, physical injury and even death.

If you are being abused at home... you are not alone.

Please call 911 if you are in immediate danger.

Please refer to "How to Keep Safe" for information on how to live safely with an abusive partner, how to leave an abusive partner, and how to remain safe once you are out of the batterer's environment.

If you are a neighbor or otherwise know that a battering incident is occurring, call the police immediately. Simply, it is the most effective way to stop domestic violence in your community.
