Plain-English Summary

The federal government would fund a national training center to help police departments and other organizations set up and improve lethality assessment programs—tools that identify which domestic violence cases are most likely to turn deadly so authorities can intervene more aggressively. The Attorney General would manage these grants to spread these assessment programs across the country with the goal of preventing domestic violence homicides. This would primarily affect law enforcement agencies, domestic violence organizations, and potentially the victims and families they serve.
