The National Police Family Violence Prevention Project is a nonprofit whose mission is to promote optimum health and safety for police families with the primary goals of preventing officer involved domestic violence and related homicide and suicide as well as improving the quality of life of every police family. The organization builds public awareness develops training for police cadets families frontline supervisors and management personnel and assists in the creation of policies and protocol to optimize early intervention strategies and protective procedures for at risk officers and victims.
