Redwood City – San Mateo County supervisors – concerned over the pervasiveness of domestic violence – today advanced an initiative that will send survivor advocates along with police to certain 911 calls.
Once a scene is secure – and a survivor is willing – a survivor advocate from the new Domestic Violence Emergency Response Team will offer services and support. This will include help finding emergency shelter, navigating the legal system and locating swift and ongoing support and care.
