Crywolf False Alarms Registration Press RoomPress Releases Related Links Contact Us Event Calendar Find Events Domestic Violence & Elder Abuse Unit The DeKalb County Police Department worked the Domestic Violence & Elder Abuse Unit in January of 2006 as an effort to make unrepealable that those who segregate to use violence versus their partner, their family, or the elderly are held responsible for their actions.  Our primary goal is victim safety. The role of the police department begins with the 911 call.  The Uniform Division responds to these calls, writes a report, documents the evidence, and makes the trespassing when possible.  The Domestic Violence Unit reviews every specimen and assigns a Detective when follow-up investigation is required.  In addition, the Domestic Violence Unit directly responds to and handles the most violent, frightening domestic violence crimes including homicide, aggravated assault, kidnapping, and aggravated stalking cases. Besides investigation, the Unit strives to make unrepealable that victims of domestic violence receive a coordinated response from the Criminal Justice System.  We continuously network with the Uniform Division, the Solicitors Office, the District Attorneys Office, and State and Superior Court Probation Agencies to ensure that cases are prosecuted successfully.  We moreover help connect victims to sources of aid outside of the Criminal Justice system, including the Women's Resource Center and International Women's House.
