Officers spearheading the pro-active method are working closely with Assist, the expert advocacy and support service for victims of domestic abuse, on information-sharing and how to approach victims and perpetrators.
Victims can give information to Assist without making a complaint to the police. The most dangerous offenders are then identified and tackled jointly by the service and the police.
