Police will also take part in awareness-raising events. Manning Great Lakes Police District Commander and Northern Region Sponsor for Domestic Violence, Superintendent Christopher Schilt, said police are committed to disrupting and preventing recidivist offending and ensuring the safety of victims. “Police unite with the community during these awareness campaigns to show our commitment to helping those who experience domestic or family violence, and we will continue to work to bring perpetrators to justice,” Superintendent Schilt said. “There is no excuse for domestic and family violence and our proactive operation will continue to target high-risk domestic-violence offenders and ensure they are held accountable for their actions.” During the state-wide operation, police will implement a number of proactive strategies including, Apprehended Domestic Violence Order compliance checks, proactive checks targeting known offenders and providing additional support to at-risk victims. This year so far, more than 20,300 compliance checks have been conducted across Northern Region, to ensure apprehended domestic violence orders (ADVO) are being complied with.
