Tips For Witnesses
What can you do if you witness domestic violence?
Keep your own safety in mind
Gather a group of people (safety in numbers) and verbally or physically intervene
Contact the authorities and document (record) the incident
If you choose not to intervene or cannot safely, gather as much info as possible, for example, physical description, events that transpired, words that were said, location of incident, description of vehicle and license plate, direction of travel.
If you can, contact the victim safely and privately and ask "are you okay" and assure them that it is not their fault and they should seek assistance.
