Domestic Violence

Domestic violence can happen to anyone at any time in any type of relationship. Public Safety is available to assist victims of on- and off-campus domestic violence. Officers are trained to respond to victims’ needs, especially by helping them obtain restraining orders from the courts to prevent further violence.

If someone is harming you, call Public Safety for help. Public Safety publishes Domestic Violence Assistance Guide, which has detailed information about the state’s domestic violence laws, options including obtaining a restraining order, victim assistance, etc. The Health Center, the Counseling Center, and Victim Advocates at the Hampshire District Court are also resources.
