Police Advocacy

Police Advocacy

This program provides advocacy services for victims of domestic violence seen by the Domestic Violence Section of the Kansas City Missouri Police Department. This position is co-located within the Kansas City Missouri Police Department Domestic Violence Section.

Additionally, this program includes our Lethality Assessment Program initiative with the KCPD. LAP helps us provide a crucial point of access for domestic violence victims who need help the most—those with a high risk of being murdered by their abusers. If an officer determines a victim is at a high risk, he or she calls Rose Brooks Center’s 24-hour hotline for support and follow-up. To read about Rose Brooks Center’s coordinated response to domestic violence crime, view our involvement in Kansas City’s Blueprint for Safety :: Blueprint for Safety Impact PDF ::

Survivors work hard to create a safe future for themselves and their children. To support this long-term solution Rose Brooks Center provides the combined and comprehensive support of the Housing, Economic Empowerment & Employment Advocacy programs.

This specific layered support of establishing housing and economic stability is critical for ending the cycle of violence and ensuring the overall health of families. In other words, the long-term solution to creating a safe future is a home of your own and the income to survive.
