West Yorkshire Police is preparing to run a pilot of a digital process for the issuing of domestic violence protection notices (DVPNs).
It has developed the process with the Police Digital Service (PDS) and delivery partner Tisski, with PDS having secured seed funding, obtained intellectual property rights and set up the development programme.
A DVPN is an emergency order issued by police to perpetrators following a domestic abuse incident. It acts as a temporary non-molestation and eviction notice, providing immediate support for victims.
