Domestic Violence training for all cadets is now the largest module within the Cadet Training Course. This course involves full day visits to the Central Domestic Violence Service office and crisis accommodation units. The Domestic Violence Investigators Course is a course for specialist Domestic Violence Investigators. This new course was implemented in May 2016 and to date 63 employees have undertaken this new course with a further 67 scheduled for the remainder of the 2016 calendar year.
