Domestic
Violence Task Force
In
June 1994, Council member Mark Ridley-Thomas and former Council
members Rita Walters and Marvin Braude introduced a motion to establish
the Domestic Violence Task Force to coordinate domestic violence
policy and program development among city departments and agencies
and other public and private partners.
The
Task Force members reflect a broad range of expertise within the
area of domestic violence and community organization. Voting membership
of the Task Force consists of one primary voting member and an alternate
from each Council Office, the Mayor's Office, City Attorney and
key City departments.
The
mission of the Task Force is to assist City officials and managers
in developing and coordinating domestic violence programs and making
recommendations to the City Council on legal advocacy, legislation
and other policies relating to domestic violence. Standing committees
address specific issues pertinent to law enforcement, legislation,
grant funding and children.
The
Task Force meets the second Monday of each month. For further information,
contact the Human Services and Family Development Division at (213)
744-9311, TTY (213) 744-9329.
