This funding supports the Statewide Targeted Reductions in Intimate Partner Violence (STRIVE) Initiative, an innovative, multi-agency strategy aimed at reducing intimate partner violence through collaboration, strategic support, and the use of evidence-based practices. The STRIVE Initiative promotes a Coordinated Community Response (CCR) model, enabling law enforcement and community partners to work together using proven tools such as problem analysis, community readiness assessments, and localized crime analysis. These methods will help identify and prioritize high-risk intimate partner violence cases within Dutchess County. CCR partners, established by DJS, include the Dutchess County District Attorney's Office, City of Poughkeepsie Police Department, Town of Poughkeepsie Police Department, Dutchess County Sheriff's Office, and Family Services' Center for Victim Safety and Support. Our agency is honored to participate in this initiative, and we are committed to implementing a response that is survivor-centered, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive- ensuring the safety and well- being of those impacted by intimate partner violence in our community.
