Task Force Convenes to Discuss Domestic Violence

The Connecticut State Task Force on Domestic Violence convened on Monday to discuss the problems caused by domestic violence in their state and how they planned to fix them. There were several speakers to present the issues, including local law enforcement agents.

Included in these presentations were ways in which the state police academy is currently training their officers to deal with domestic violence calls, as well as programs that offenders are forced to go through.

State attorney Kevin Lawlor added that, "the law enforcement community is very limited in what we can do to monitor and regulate the individuals who are out there in the bail bonds business getting serious criminals out of prison." Representative Mae Flexer, as chair of the committee, reported that the group has been able to pass significant legislative actions that have contributed to the reform for domestic violence.

If someone you know has recently become a victim of domestic violence, it is time to contact a Los Angeles family law attorney now to get the protection that person needs and deserves.
