Trauma-informed policing breaks cycles of violence between officers and communities, improving responses and reducing officer-perpetrated domestic abuse.
RIP:Racism in Policing 
Police departments—and their relationship with the communities they serve—are like families, often facing cycles of violence and reactive abuse.
By applying domestic violence research, batterer intervention strategies, and trauma-informed education, we can “heal the family” at both the departmental and community level.
Trauma-informed policing not only improves officer response to DV calls but dramatically reduces officer-perpetrated domestic violence, protecting countless victims at home and in the community.
Intergenerational trauma can make policing reactive and biased, harming communities of color. Trauma-informed approaches break the cycle and restore trust.
