KEEP ABBY BIEBER’S NAME ALIVE.
This October, for Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the National Crimes Against Children Investigators Association is asking law enforcement agencies across the country to make a commitment. A commitment to meaningful accountability when domestic violence involves one of our own.
Abby Bieber was a police officer. She was also a victim of police-perpetrated domestic violence. Her family wants the circumstances surrounding her death to become a vehicle for meaningful and lasting change. We want to help make that happen.
NCACIA is asking law enforcement agencies to commit to:
• Clear policies addressing police-perpetrated domestic violence
• Annual training for agency personnel
• Appropriate independent investigation and conflict safeguards
• Protection for victims and employees who report misconduct
• Accountability when someone uses their badge, authority, access to information, police resources, or position to abuse another person
And we are putting real action behind that request. During Domestic Violence Awareness Month, NCACIA is offering our Domestic Abuse Response Training, DART, at significantly reduced rates, and in some circumstances completely FREE, to law enforcement agencies willing to publicly commit to meaningful reform and accountability.
If you are a Chief, Sheriff, command staff member, training coordinator, domestic violence investigator, prosecutor, victim advocate, association leader, or someone who can bring this conversation to your agency, we want to hear from you.

Even if you cannot make this decision for your agency, you can help. Send this video to the person who can. Who is ready to answer the call?
