Domestic Violence
Every person has the right to feel safe and secure in their own home. If
you are a victim of domestic violence, call 911. Officers will respond immediately.
If the situation demands, we can, at any time, help you obtain a temporary restraining order
against your attacker. We also want you to call us if you think you may be in a
potentially abusive situation, and are afraid for yourself or your children. If you
need to speak to someone about your legal options and local services, we suggest you
contact the New Jersey Battered Women's Service @ (973) 267-4763, or the New Jersey
Domestic Violence Hotline @ (800) 572-7233. Trained counselors are on call 24 hours
a day, 7 days a week to answer questions and provide guidance. All calls are
completely confidential.
