Domestic abuse officers
Dear Metropolitan Police Service (MPS),
Does your organisation have specifically trained domestic abuse officers?
If so how does this training differ from standard training?
How many domestic abuse officers are there?
How can the public access these officers, is it automatic if there is a domestic abuse element? If not kindly explain how the public can navigate this service.
Yours faithfully,
Jess Smyth
