Domestic Violence Awareness: Recognizing the Signs and Speaking Up
Intimate partner violence can take many forms, including physical assault, threats, harassment, intimidation, and controlling behaviour.
These incidents can occur behind closed doors, making awareness and community involvement especially important.
Domestic violence is not always visible, and individuals experiencing abuse may face significant challenges when attempting to seek help or leave an unsafe situation.
If you witness or have information about suspected domestic violence, you are encouraged to report your concerns to police. Even information that may seem minor could help authorities identify someone at risk, prevent further harm or support an ongoing investigation.
Residents can contact The Belleville Police Service to report suspected domestic violence. If someone is in immediate danger or a crime is actively taking place, call 911.
Recognize the signs. Report your concerns. Help protect someone in need.
