Which team is responsible for assessing high-risk domestic violence cases?

The Domestic Violence High Risk Team (DVHRT) is specifically designed to assess high-risk domestic violence cases. This team typically consists of professionals from multiple disciplines, including law enforcement, domestic violence advocates, and other social service providers. They collaborate in a coordinated effort to evaluate the seriousness of the situation, identify individuals at greatest risk for severe violence or homicide, and formulate effective intervention strategies.

The focus of the DVHRT is to bring together expertise from various fields to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the complexities involved in high-risk domestic violence situations. This approach aids in enhancing the safety of victims and holding perpetrators accountable. Other teams, while they may play important roles in addressing domestic violence, do not specifically focus on the assessment of high-risk cases in the way that the DVHRT does.
