Domestic violence is a crime committed by people from all walks of life If you’re abusing your partner, your ex-partner, or another member of your family, you should know that police do not need a statement from them to make an arrest. If we have reasonable grounds, we will arrest you immediately.  And, if you have left the scene we will track you down.  Remember there are no safe houses for those who commit domestic violence.
