Domestic Violence Unit

The Berks County Probation and Parole Domestic Violence Unit provides intensive supervision to adult offenders sentenced to probation or parole for committing acts of domestic violence. While the unit applies a variety of educational and/or therapeutic interventions to assist the offender, the emphasis is on community protection, especially regarding real and/or potential victims.

The unit consists of 5 officers and their supervisor, whose role is to empower victims through their participation in the supervision process. Additionally, this unit conducts specialized risks assessments, Cognitive Behavioral Groups, and victim advocacy for the courts.
