DOMESTIC VIOLENCE RESPONSE TEAM
You can make a difference!

The Delran Township Police Department, in collaboration with Providence House of Catholic Charities, is currently recruiting volunteers for a domestic violence response team. The team members will work in conjunction with the police to provide support, information and referral at the time of a domestic violence crisis. Providence House of Catholic Charities and the police department are committed to a multi-racial, multi-ethnic team to serve the community in the best manner possible. Applicants must be 18 years of age or older, have access to transportation, possess a valid driver’s license, be willing to serve a minimum of four 12-hour shifts per month, and submit to background investigations, including fingerprinting. A free 40-hour mandatory intensive training course, to be held over an six-week period, during evening hours, is required and will be provided to successful applicants. An understanding of domestic violence issues is not necessary. Bilingual volunteers are also needed. Interested citizens should contact, Lt. Howard Davenport at 856-461-4498 ext 177, or stop in to Delran Police Headquarters for an application.
