- Obtain sworn written or recorded statements from the victim and any witnesses, including children
- Attempt to obtain a written or recorded statement from the suspect, after they have been advised of Miranda
- Proactively determine all the crimes for which there is probable cause
- Inform the arrested individual that domestic violence is a crime and the State of Florida is responsible for the prosecution
Arrests
- An arrest should be made when probable cause has been established that an act of domestic violence has occurred
- The deputy should consider their observations, physical evidence, and statements by parties involved and any witnesses when determining probable cause
- The deputy making an arrest will inform the arrested individual that domestic violence is a crime and the State of Florida is responsible for the prosecution
Dispatch Procedures
- Communications should dispatch units in all situations involving domestic violence
- Two deputies should be dispatched to the scene whenever possible
- Communications will ascertain whether the victim has special needs, such as being hearing impaired or not speaking English, and will inform the responding deputies of the special need
GPS Program
- The GPS program requires patrol deputies to take specific action when responding to calls of alleged domestic violence
- When completing a report documenting domestic violence allegations, deputies must also complete a lethality assessment and attach it to their report narrative
Domestic Violence Investigations
- Domestic violence investigations should be actively pursued by law enforcement, and an arrest should be the preferred response in situations in which probable cause exists
- High priority should be assigned to ensuring the victim's safety and referral to appropriate services
- Deputies should not threaten, suggest, or otherwise indicate the possible arrest of all parties or the removal of the children from the home, with the intent of discouraging requests for intervention by law enforcement by any party
