Implementing a Firearm Surrender Protocol
July 20, 2017
This webinar addresses federal law, local DV firearm reduction initiatives and multi-agency conversations on how to address surrender of firearms in the criminal and civil justice systems.
Research and experience confirm that access to a firearm dramatically increases the risk of lethality in domestic violence cases. To disarm domestic violence offenders, federal law is applied to domestic violence cases handled on a state level, and local law enforcement produces unique frameworks alongside other organizations. The intended audience is anyone who is part of a fatality review team, family violence task force, domestic violence intervention program providers, and the civil and criminal justice system partners.
