DART is a crisis intervention response team. After our officers have responded to a domestic violence call and have completed their investigation, they determine if the victim, with the victim's approval, can be helped by a crisis response intervention team. If their decision is yes they call DART. DART volunteers receive 40 hours of classroom instruction and go on a ride-a-long. Some of the instructors for this training are employees from Safe House, Child Protective Services, Rape Crisis Center, Suicide Prevention Center, Clark County Legal Services and the District Court. LVMPD Crimes Against Family sergeants and victim advocates are also involved in the training. DART volunteers are there to focus on the victim's needs. DART can assist victims in obtaining a temporary protection order and connect them with resources in the community that are available for them.
