A. POLICY
It is the policy of the El Portal Police Department to properly and swiftly respond to
incidences of both domestic and repeat violence through a combination of law
enforcement and community services and to develop strong cases against suspects for the
purpose of successful prosecutions that can result in reduced recidivism. In this regard,
officers shall recognize and consider the safety of the victim, any involved children and
any other persons who may be in imminent danger if the suspect is not immediately
brought before a court of law.
