More than 10 years ago, staff members from the D.A.’s Office established the Brooklyn Domestic Violence Task Force.  Every month, practitioners from hospitals, schools, businesses and child welfare agencies work on issues concerning victims of domestic violence.  The Bureau also started an emergency response team which sends experienced prosecutors and social workers to work with the police on serious assault and homicide cases.  Each year, the bureau sponsors a domestic violence conference, which is open to the community.  Topics have included gaps in resources, teen dating violence and elder abuse.
