Attendees will learn how to listen for clues and signs on multiple topics of domestic violence such as strangulation, demeanor of the caller, and more, as well as how to process the calls and speak with the victim's or abusers. You will gain specific knowledge on how to handle these calls, what to
listen for and resources to help both the dispatcher and the caller.
