WHAT HAPPENS DURING A CALIFORNIA DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ARREST?
Typically, a domestic violence case begins when law enforcement is called for assistance. When officers arrive on the scene, they will likely separate the parties involved and take their statements separately. After the statements are taken, the following steps may take place:
• Law enforcement will attempt to determine who the aggressor is
• The aggressor will be arrested for domestic violence
• Police will ask the victim if they wish to press charges or want an emergency protective order
• Even if the victim does not wish to press charges, the aggressor will still be arrested
• The arrested party will go to jail and be required to post bond before they are released
• If children were present during the incident, a copy of the arrest report will be sent to the Department of Public Social Services.
WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT CALIFORNIA DOMESTIC VIOLENCE INVESTIGATIONS
• The detective may follow up with the alleged victim and may take another statement from the victim, suspect, or witnesses
• The suspect may present the detective with evidence
• If the detective believes they have enough evidence to charge the suspect, they will submit the case to a prosecuting agency for filing consideration
