In my three decades of policing in Ventura County I have seen the trauma and devastation of family violence firsthand. The Family Justice Center fulfills a long overdue need by bringing together a wide array of services and resources in a collaborative manner. Designed to provide on-going and comprehensive support to victims of family violence, the Family Justice Center will affect positive change towards ending the cycle of violence that often results in generations of victimization. The Ventura Police Department is proud to be a part of this collective effort – together we can make a difference.
