DOMESTIC VIOLENCE RESPONSE TEAM

Advertisement for Volunteers

The Mansfield Township Police Department, in collaboration with Providence House of Catholic Charities, is currently recruiting volunteers for a domestic violence response team.  The team members will work in conjunction with the police to provide support, information and referral at the time of a domestic violence crisis.  Providence House of Catholic Charities and the police department are committed to a multi-racial, multi-ethnic team to serve the community in the best manner possible.  Applicants must be 18 years of age or older, have access to transportation, possess a valid driver’s license, be willing to serve a minimum of four 12-hour shifts per month, and submit to background investigations, including fingerprinting.  A 40-hour mandatory intensive training course, to be held over an eight-week period, during evening and weekend hours, is required and will be provided to successful applicants.  An understanding of domestic violence issues is a plus, as is bilingual capability.  Interested citizens should contact Patrolman David Mueller, at (609) 298-4411, or stop at the Mansfield Township Police Department to pick up an application.
