Georgia Commission on Family Violence

At GCFV, we believe that a coordinated community response is the best way to address the problem of family violence. A coordinated community response means that every segment of the community - including judges, advocates, law enforcement, medical professionals, educators, and concerned citizens - is responsible for helping to end family violence. In other words, everyone, including you, can be a part of the solution. GCFV works with communities and systems across the state to provide leadership in strengthening Georgia's families by ending family violence.

GCFV is administratively attached to the Department of Community Supervision (DCS). GCFV appreciates the strong support of DCS to our mission to strengthen Georgia families by ending family violence. DCS believes that all Georgians deserve to be safe and protected in public places as well as private residences.

Law Enforcement Roll Call Trainings

The Georgia Commission on Family Violence, in partnership with the Georgia Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Mike Mertz, retired law enforcement officer, have created 6 Roll Call trainings to address key moments of opportunity when law enforcement can intervene and assist victims of domestic violence achieve safety and hold abusers accountable. 

A key component to the Roll Call training series is the recruitment of and partnership with several suggested presenters, including domestic violence advocates, prosecutors, judges and judicial staff, chiefs of police and other leaders in law enforcement to assist with presenting the information to law enforcement officers. Drawing on the expertise and knowledge of the suggested presenters enriches the training program and encourages participant engagement. Developing these relationships is valuable beyond the Roll Call training program as it engages a variety of influential community members invested in keeping victims of domestic violence safe and holding abuser accountable.

The manual includes 6 complete lesson plans, training scripts, powerpoint presentation materials, and resources.
