Domestic abuse victims to be offered extra support
26/04/2021
Victims of repeated domestic abuse and their families will be offered extra support as Cumbria police launches the next stage of an operation.
Operation Dacrre was launched to target repeat domestic abuse offenders, while offering additional support to victims and their families.
Over the last year, police officers have analysed data to identify prolific offenders and individuals in need of additional safeguarding and support.
During the pandemic police saw a marked increase in repeat offending linked to domestic abuse with over 900 crimes recorded against 111 victims.
Dedicated, specially trained officers have been deployed under Operation Dacrre to make visits to those identified as repeat offenders and their victims.
