Domestic violence investigations.

HB 1072 requires all law enforcement agencies to use a standardized domestic violence risk assessment tool when responding to any domestic violence incident. This law directly affects police departments and officers who handle such calls, mandating they apply this assessment during initial responses. The key provision is the mandatory use of a specific risk assessment protocol to evaluate immediate safety threats and guide officer actions. This policy change aims to standardize responses to domestic violence cases across the state, focusing on immediate safety evaluation.
