Two studies have found that at least 40% of police officer families
experience domestic violence, (1, 2) in contrast
to 10% of families in the general population.(3)
A third study of older and more experienced officers found a rate of 24%
(4), indicating that domestic violence is 2-4 times
more common among police families than American families in general. A
police department that has domestic violence offenders among its ranks
will not effectively serve and protect victims in the community.5,
6, 7, 8 Moreover, when officers know of domestic violence committed
by their colleagues and seek to protect them by covering it up, they expose
the department to civil liability.7
Amazing statistics that they DO NOT want you to see.
