Sheriff’s Office hosts training on domestic violence cases

GARDENDALE — The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office hosted training by the ATF and the U.S. Attorney’s Office at Gardendale High School on Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2020.

Local law enforcement was able to participate in the training and guidance on the prosecution of domestic violence-related cases in Federal Court.

“There are nearly 100 domestic violence assaults reported to law enforcement every day in Alabama,” said Sgt. Joni Money. “If the abuser has access to a firearm, the chances that the victim will be killed dramatically increases.”
