Piedmont Circuit
Domestic Violence Task Force

What is a Family Violence Task Force?

Family Violence Task Forces are multidisciplinary community groups (government agencies, community-based agencies, survivors of family violence, concerned community members and professionals) whose focus is on increasing victim safety and offender accountability through coordinating local services and effecting change through creating a coordinated community response to domestic violence.

What is a Coordinated Community Response?

A coordinated community response is an intervention strategy that employs an interagency approach to address domestic violence and protect victims. In order to foster a coordinated community response to domestic violence, task forces establish committees to address barriers that victims face while attempting to become safe and gaps where offenders may slip through.

Who Should Join a Family Violence Task Force?

Family violence survivors and offenders of this crime come in contact with several different agencies or systems. Family Violence Task Forces provide an opportunity for these multiple systems to gather and develop best practices for addressing this issue for their local community. Listed below is a list of systems that should be participating in a task force. This is not a comprehensive list, but gives a general idea of how varied Family Violence Task Force members can be.
