Domestic abuse victims who were interviewed via video link from their homes rather than in person have expressed high levels of satisfaction with a new service being piloted by Kent Police

Officers have been able to use video technology to virtually respond to calls that have been risk assessed and deemed suitable as part of the Domestic Abuse Hub, which launched on Wednesday, May 18, 2022.

Within minutes of receiving a call, Kent Police officers can record the crime, take statements, and gather valuable evidence. This allows mobile patrols to respond to calls where there is an immediate threat of harm.
