Practical Training: Domestic Violence – Incident Management, Securing Evidence, and the Women's Shelter Interface
Make your domestic violence investigations court-proof – even without the victim's testimony.
The practical training for police enforcement services and investigative authorities that provides you with the crucial tools for incident management, securing evidence, and victim protection.
Are you familiar with this from your daily work?
-
He said, she said? The case threatens to fizzle out, even though you know the facts.
-
Withdrawn criminal complaints? The victim returns to the perpetrator, and your extensive work was for nothing.
-
Missing evidence? The traces are fleeting, and a later interrogation is full of contradictions.
-
Uncertain collaboration? The interface with the women's shelter holds legal and practical pitfalls.
This training was developed to end these exact frustrations. Learn how to build a complete chain of evidence from the very first moment at the crime scene, one that can lead to a conviction even without the victim's cooperation.
What you will learn in this 5-hour practical training:
Module 1: Court-Proof Evidence Preservation from the First Minute
How your work at the crime scene secures the subsequent verdict.
-
✓ Legally document spontaneous statements: Use the victim's initial, crucial statements before the right to refuse testimony applies.
-
✓ Document objective evidence irrefutably: Use photos and bodycam footage of injuries, chaos, and the state of shock in a way that makes them more valuable than any later testimony.
-
✓ Prove digital violence (stalking, spyware): Secure evidence on smartphones and in messengers that convicts perpetrators.
-
✓ Justify exclusion orders and formal warnings to potential offenders: Word them so that the perpetrator's legal appeals come to nothing.
Module 2: Psychologically Sound Interrogation Tactics
Obtain the crucial information, even from traumatized victims.
-
✓ Understand the 'Victim Paradox': Recognize the patterns of the cycle of violence and use this knowledge for your interrogation.
-
✓ Interrogate traumatized individuals correctly: Avoid common mistakes that lead to contradictory statements.
-
✓ Overcome cultural and legal hurdles in migration cases: Act confidently when dealing with interpreters and recognize pressure related to residency status as a tool of the crime.
Module 3: Smooth & Legally Secure Cooperation with Women's Shelters
Protect the victim effectively and avoid fatal mistakes.
-
✓ Master referrals to protective shelters: Know the correct procedure and the necessary security precautions.
-
✓ Protect the secret address: Learn why the women's shelter's address must never appear in the case file and how to still serve summonses in a legally compliant manner.
-
✓ Data protection vs. danger prevention: Know exactly what information you are allowed to receive from the women's shelter – and what you are not.
