This critical body brought together key stakeholders to develop new strategies and policies, and to effectuate coordination between agencies, City departments and courts to improve the response to domestic violence. The Domestic Violence Prevention Council will expand its mission to explore innovative approaches employed by other jurisdictions to address domestic violence and to coordinate interdepartmental efforts to obtain grant funding. The DVC will also shift from a representative membership structure to a positional membership structure to both strengthen leadership and to improve its overall direction.
