NEW YORK (WBNG) — Seventeen counties across New York are part of the Statewide Targeted Reductions in Intimate Partner Violence program, which allows law enforcement agencies and community organizations to enhance partnerships and support survivors.<\/p>\n
Broome County has received $800,000 in funding.<\/p>\n
The state\u2019s focus includes requiring officers to complete a 16-hour domestic incident response curriculum.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s really going to lead to saving lives right here in Broome County, and that\u2019s what it\u2019s all about,\u201d said Broome County District Attorney Paul Battisti. \u201cHelping the survivors of these traumatic incidents, and it\u2019s something that we support 100%.\u201d<\/p>\n
Danielle Nuzzo, the director of legal advocacy at the Crime Victim Assistance Center, says there\u2019s always room for more education on the issue.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s important for all of us to remember that no matter how long we\u2019ve been working in human services, victim services, and even law enforcement, there\u2019s always something to learn,\u201d Nuzzo said. \u201cThe best collaborations are the ones where we\u2019re learning from each other, and I think moving forward, that collaboration is going to teach all of us a lot more about what we do.\u201d<\/p>\n
State Senator Lea Webb applauds Governor Hochul for helping make the initiative possible.<\/p>\n
\u201cI applaud the Governor for taking this important step, especially given that October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month,\u201d Webb said. \u201cThe governor\u2019s announcement today and the work we\u2019ve been doing in the Women\u2019s Issues Committee in the state legislature are key to supporting survivors.\u201d<\/p>\n
The officer training will cover a range of topics, including decision-based exercises and understanding trauma from survivors.<\/p>\n
