Police training
Specific training is given to all officers on domestic and sexual violence as part of the mandatory policy on training. Training is provided initially to recruit officers on joining the police force as part of their initial training. Continuous Professional Development (CPD) training is also provided during the course of a police officer's career. The training is not specifically tailored towards female victims. Officers are instructed that support services are available to victims. The vast majority of these services cater for females. In each Garda station a list of the local as well as National Support Services is maintained and provided to all victims coming into contact with An Garda Siochana.
Aims and objectives
To sensitize police officers on violence against women and provide information how to behave correctly in case of violence incidents. The objective is to enhance a pro-arrest policy.
