Mission Statement of the Wayne County Council Against Family Violence

The Council was formed in 1992 to make recommendations to and coordinate the efforts of Police Departments, the Prosecutor's Office and service agencies in their approach to the problem of domestic violence in Wayne County. The Council will work towards facilitating the proper enforcement of the laws, policies and procedures applicable to domestic violence situations.

The Council will provide direction by acquiring the support and or involvement of existing agencies and community programs already committed to addressing and resolving the problem of domestic/family violence, rather than establishing new services therefrom. The Council through an alliance of government, service providers, and community agencies will advocate for the development of a comprehensive, coordinated approach to reducing domestic/family violence in Wayne County.
