Over
the
past
year,
a
lot
of
stakeholders
in
Buncombe
County
to
include
the
sheriff's
office,
Asheville
Police
Department,
the
District
Attorney's
Office
mission,
hospital
health
and
human
services,
just
Kadri
of
folks
to
include
Commissioner
Holly
Jones
have
been
working
together
to
try
to
come
up
with
a
better
best
practice
for
how
we
deal
with
cases
of
domestic
violence.
What
2013
really
showed
us
here
in
Buncombe
County
was
that
that
problem
is
increasingly
getting
worse.
B
Buncombe
county,
comprehensive
domestic
violence
plan
is
not
focusing
on
just
any
one
area.
It
has
five
areas
of
approach
by
prongs.
One
is
a
high-risk
domestic
violence.
Team
two
is
the
use
of
an
evidence-based
lethality
assessment,
so
we
can
identify
victims
who
are
in
the
most
danger.
Three
is
a
focused
deterrence
program
where
we
can
get
offenders
get
their
attention
and
let
them
know
that
our
community
doesn't
tolerate
domestic
violence,
for
is
an
electronic
monitoring
program
to
alert
victims
and
law
enforcement
when
an
offender
has
violated
the
conditions
of
his
inclusion
or
exclusion
zones.
C
I
passed
along
this
research
and
this
model
to
staff
at
Buncombe,
County
and
no
surprise
to
me,
but
Mandie,
stone
and
rich
monger
jumped
on
it
immediately.
They
saw
the
the
possibility
for
returning
those
powerful
results
that
had
happened
in
other
communities
to
our
community
and
as
I
say,
then
things
really
got
rolling.
What.
D
I'm
excited
about
in
this
initiative
is
the
dual
focus.
There
are
components
of
it
that
are
about
the
containment
of
the
offender,
ensuring
that
the
victim
safe,
ensuring
that
the
community
safe
from
that
individual
and
then
there
are
also
components
of
it
that
focus
on
the
victim
safety
and
how
we
provide
the
resources
to
support
that
victim
and
moving
to
a
safe
and
sustainable
independent
living
arrangement
for
themselves
and
often
their
children.
We're.
E
F
So
we
don't
always
see
each
other,
but
now,
with
this
new
collaboration,
what
we're
going
to
do
is
make
sure
that
we
share
information
that
we
meet
on
a
regular
basis
to
talk
about
these
cases
that
have
been
identified
as
special
cases
that
need
the
extra
attention
and
I
believe
that
will
allow
us
to
better
serve
the
victims
in
these
cases
better
serve
the
community
by
making
it
a
safer
community
and
better
able
to
tailor
the
punishment
so
that
it
will
fit
exactly
the
needs
of
each
criminal
defendant.
Ultimately,.
C
The
goal
for
this
program
is
for
women
to
feel
safe
in
their
communities
and
have
peace
of
mind
in
the
in
the
long
run.
We
also
hope
to
to
look
at
preventing
violence
from
the
very
beginning,
and
this
will
start
with
with
our
children,
but
I'm
very
excited
about
the
start
that
we
have
and
that
we're
about
the
mark.
