DVCC reports call for more awareness, peer support and better police‑agency communication

Amy, speaking for the Domestic Violence Coordinating Council subcommittee, summarized a recent Midshore Council on Family Violence report and told the group that Baltimore County was well represented in the program’s victim feedback. She said participants repeatedly asked for increased awareness among professionals about domestic violence, better communication between DV agencies and police, more peer support options, trauma‑informed staff and expanded services for children.

Amy offered to circulate the report to attendees. There was no formal action on the recommendations at this meeting; the report was made available on request and the group moved on to other agenda items.
