The Littleton Police Department understands that Domestic Violence has become an ever increasing problem in our society. According to a study done by the Dept of Justice in 2000, approximately 1.3 million women and 835,000 men are physically abused each year. About 1,300 of those attacks end in a fatal outcome. Domestic Violence is everywhere and affects us all. We believe police officers can a valuable, trusted avenue for those that have been victimized. Bacause of this and to gain a better understanding of how to effectively handle domestic violence situations that we come across, Officer Pablo Fernandez volunteered to be sent to a specialized training put on by the Department of Homeland Security. The training offered insight into the dynamics of Domestic Violence and gave Officer Fernandez the ability to also teach what he has learned to other members of our department. Officer Fernandez has become a valuable resource for our department and the community. If you or anyone you know is being victimized, the members of the Littleton Police Department are here to help you. We are here 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Officer Fernandez canbe contacted directly via email with any questions. pfernandez@littletonpd.com |
