D.O.V.E.

Domestic Violence Enforcement Unit (DOVE), are highly trained staff who work directly with victims of domestic violence, initiating the contact within hours of the incident being reported to law enforcement. True North DOVE advocates have offices at True North, the Columbia Police Department and the Boone County Sheriff’s Office. It is a unique team approach – law enforcement, prosecuting attorney’s office, probation and parole, and True North work together – meeting monthly to ensure that every victim of domestic or sexual violence receives the opportunity for services and that their rights are protected under the laws of the State of Missouri.
