Develop a core set of functions to be delivered by all Victoria Police family violence teams

Victoria Police has conducted a review of family violence team arrangements. The review examined the roles and responsibilities of family violence teams and recommended how to best provide a consistent structure and operating model for policing family violence.

The new operating model provides a strengthened focus on investigation and intelligence for family violence, supported by a new education framework and improved career structures within family violence policing.

Victoria Police commenced implementation of the Family Violence Investigation Model in July 2018.

The model provides for a specialist investigative response by a range of dedicated, ongoing police and support personnel, including family violence-specific training officers, intelligence analysts, police managers, investigators, trainers, court liaison officers, clinicians and project personnel.

Implemented.
