The CRTs deal solely with domestic violence cases. They’re made up of 59 sworn officers and 20 civilian workers, divided up between SAPD’s six substations. “We’re providing safety plans, we’re talking to the victim about additional resources, we’re explaining to them the various dynamics within family violence and getting them to the shelter,” said Sgt. Ray Villarreal, who supervises SAPD’s CRT at the South Substation.
