The Police Foundation 8/7/2022 Feature, Opinion In domestic abuse cases a rapid video connection leads to higher victim satisfaction In 2020 Her Majesty’s Inspectorate for Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Service (HMICFRS) wrote a report titled ‘A call for help’, which said that call volumes were increasing in number and complexity, and that public demand was in danger of overwhelming the police service. HMICFRS was particularly concerned that beyond the calls most urgent in nature, police forces are struggling to meet demand. One area of particular concern for forces is domestic abuse – in an average 24-hour period there are around 3,100 domestic abuse (DA) calls received in force control rooms across England and Wales. It was within this context that Kent Police sought to robustly evaluate a new rapid video response (RVR) to establish if it could be a viable additional service offering for victims reporting domestic abuse from a safe, secure place when the offender was absent.
