Man Protected by the Shield of Faith
Artist: Maarten van Heemskerck

“When I see this artists work of Satan hurling burning arrows at
a praying victim below, I think of the victim of domestic
violence who feels like the entire world has come crashing down
on them and there is no help but to pray it stops”.
Matthew Parker CEO, ISA
But there is help, the ISA Domestic Violence Intervention
Teams will assist law enforcement and domestic violence
agency's stop the violence by shielding the victim from contact
with the abuser until the threat and risks have been mitigated.
We provide a safe and secure environment to the victim, and
give police time so they, and domestic violence advocates, can
help the victim find solutions.

Domestic Violence Intervention
Scenario: A domestic violence victim arrives in the hospital
emergency room badly beaten, local police arrive and after
speaking with the victim, they learn that the abuser fled the
residence after the violence, but warned the victim to stay quiet or
suffer additional violence or death.
Police acquire a warrant to arrest the abuser, they visit the crime
scene but the abuser is not there.
The victim is released from the hospital a few hours later and
returns home alone.
After a few hours the victim receives a call from the abuser
threating violence for calling the police. The police have been to
the abusers place of employment and parents home.
The victim calls police and is told if the abuser returns to the home
call 911. A shelter or hotel is recommended for the next few days
until police have the abuser in custody.
Police do not have the man power or resources to leave an officer
at the home.
Solution: The police or hospital domestic violence coordinator
contact the ISA Domestic Violence Intervention Program and
request special assistance from a intervention team. A two agent
detail is dispatched to the hospital or home of the victim and they
provide close protection for the victim until such time as:
 The police have the abuser in custody
 The police or domestic violence coordinator determine the
threat has been reduced to a manageable level
 The victim relocates to a new or undisclosed safe location, or
the home is made safe from break-in enough to allow police
response.
Domestic Violence
Page 10
http://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/340025
Scenario: A domestic violence victim has decided to seek a
protective order and speak with a domestic violence advocate
The victim does not have a vehicle and the abuser has limited the
victims access to money and credit cards as well as friends who
may be willing to drive them to court.
The victim knows she/he will need to relocate away from the
abuser and closer to family or other support network.
Relocating will take time and resources she/he does not have at
present.
Solution: A domestic violence coordinator contacts the ISA
Domestic Violence Intervention Program and requests safe
transportation for the victim and relocation assistance.
A driver in an unmarked non descript vehicle takes the victim to
court and to see the domestic violence advocate.
If police determine the threat warrants it, A two agent detail is
dispatched to the home of the victim and they provide close
protection for the victim until such time as:
 The abuser is served the protective order and an initial
assessment is made of the abusers intent to comply
 The victim is ready to relocate, is packed and ready to depart
the home
 The victim relocates to a new or undisclosed safe location, or
the home is made safe from break-in enough to allow a police
response.
Part time protection is available if the victim and abuser must
be co located, for example during the hand over if children
change custody for visits.

Domestic Violence Intervention
Scenario: A domestic violence victim has received several
protective orders the abuser ignores. Police have arrested the
abuser on several occasions for violation of the order, physical
abuse and damage to her/his property.
After release from jail the abuser has a history of returning to the
home or place of work of the victim, often stalking the victim for
days.
The victim seeks relocation to an emergency shelter after the
abuser is seen near the home.
The abuser is seen near the victims place of employment.
The abuser does not get within the specified distance to the victim
as established in the court order. Simply makes their presence
known. Relocation is not available as no violence has occurred, no
police action is taken other than a report since there was no
violence.
Law enforcement or the domestic violence advocate feel there is
an elevated threat.
Solution: The police or domestic violence coordinator contact the
ISA Domestic Violence Intervention Program and request special
assistance from a intervention team. A two agent detail is
dispatched to the home of the victim and they provide close
protection for the victim until such time as:
 The police have cause to take the abuser in custody
 The police or domestic violence coordinator determine the
threat has been reduced to a manageable level
 The victim relocates to a new or undisclosed safe location, or
the home is made safe from break-in enough to allow a police
response.

Dr. Jessica Pearson, a clinical psychologist who specializes in
forensic assessment, explained: “Domestic violence knows no
limits. It occurs in every socio-economic, religious, racial, and
ethnic group in our country.”
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/06/01/it-s-time-for-men-to-
stand-up-and-fight-domestic-violence.html
Question:
How many of these victims end up in local emergency rooms?
Where do they go when discharged?
How many abusers are waiting for their victims when they arrive
back in the home?
How many abusers flee the home before police can arrest them?
What is the average time for police to find and arrest someone
wanted for domestic violence?
How do you stop the abuser from returning and doing it again
after a protection order or warrant for arrest is issued?
How many victims are beaten or killed after an protection order is
issued?

The Parable of the Good Samaritan
Artist: Dirk Volckertsz Coornhert
Date: 1549
‘If so much money is available to non-profits, law enforcement
and to government agency's, why do we still have victims of
domestic violence?’
‘Are we collecting money over the broken bones and destroyed
lives of the very people we say we’re trying to help?’
Matthew Parker, CEO,ISA

The following financial data was taken from the GuideStar web
site, the world's largest source of information on nonprofit
organizations.
The first three non-profits on the web site report $3.692.774 in
income to the IRS.
But none of that money was used to directly prevent physical
or mental harm to a victim of domestic violence.
Why? Liability, what if an abuser tries to harm a victim
and it is necessary to intervene? That holds liability for
the organization providing protection to the victims.
‘Also: Experts recommend that nonprofits use the empower-
ment approach, grounded in the belief that victims of domestic
violence should have access to information, education, and
other necessary social and economic support to make
informed decisions that best reflect their interests and needs’.

Domestic Violence Intervention VS. The Empowerment Approach,
http://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/340025
Community Awareness and Advocacy
Awareness and advocacy initiatives include a variety of programs
to improve community response to reduce domestic violence,
increase public attention, and inform victims of their options.
Initiatives take many forms and seek to support, strengthen, and
encourage victims to seek out assistance and knowledge while
reducing shame and taboo associated with victimization.
Community programs that educate victims on the resources,
organizations and agency's available to help them, are critical
in the fight against domestic violence, but education in itself
does not actively prevent a black eye or broken bone.
Crisis and Pre-Crisis Services
Crisis and pre-crisis services are necessary to respond quickly
and effectively to the physical and emotional trauma.
A confidential 24-hour toll-free hotline provides information and
referrals for victims or women who are in danger of becoming
victims. High-performing hotlines offer guidance on safety
planning, referrals, legal rights and advocacy, and resources to
better understand the issue.
Crisis services, especially hot lines are the “tip of the spear”
in the fight against domestic violence. But as effective as they
are, unless they can alert law enforcement to respond to a
violent incident, there is no direct intervention that takes
place to stop the continued violence on the victim.
Working with a community hotline, ISA intervention teams
could be made available 24x7 at short notice to provide
protective services to victims.
Domestic Violence
Page 16
Medium- and Long-Term Services
Medium- and long-term services focus on the provision of
services to address the long-term welfare of victims. These
services include counseling, legal and medical advocacy, and
assistance in establishing independence.
Counseling is designed to improve victims' coping skills,
decrease social isolation, and increase self-esteem. Legal and
medical advocacy focuses on the provision of knowledge,
information, referrals, and physical and psychiatric care.
Services that help establish independence can include
permanent supportive housing, education, and English language
courses.
For a victim to be once again be independent they need to
feel safe and live their lives free of violence. Daily decisions
can’t be based on the best course of action provided it
doesn't lead to more violence at the hands of an abuser.
Children's Services
Many women will not seek assistance without knowing that their
children will also receive care. High-performing nonprofits have
separate counseling and support groups for children who have
either witnessed or experienced domestic abuse to help them
cope with violence, learn about safety plans, and reduce self-
blame.
For any victim who wants to escape a violent relationship or
situation planning is essential. Housing, employment, child
care, transportation and other questions must be addressed.
But without a means to execute those plans in safety many
victims stay afraid of being discovered by the abuser.
Our program provides the time and safety these victims

Elder Abuse Intervention
Scenario: A woman is dropped off at a local elderly care center
for the day. Staff notice bruises on her arms and face under her
makeup. She seems exhausted and depressed but hesitant to tell
staff what happened.
Staff report this to the appropriate agency or local police who
arrive to investigate. After speaking with the woman they learn that
her son is the abuser and has taken her check book and credit
cards by force.
Police acquire a warrant to arrest the son and recommend the
victim get a protection order. The victim is taken to a local hospital
and then released. Her friend provides a ride home.
Police have attempted to contact the son and checked the home
but he was not present, after a few hours the victim receives a call
from the son threating violence for calling the police.
The victim calls police and is told if the son returns to the home
call 911. A shelter or hotel is recommended for the next few days
until police have the son in custody.
Police do not have the man power or resources to leave an officer
at the home.
Solution: The police or a violence coordinator contact the ISA
Intervention Program and request special assistance from a
intervention team. A two agent detail is dispatched to the home of
the victim and they provide close protection for the victim until
such time as:
 The police have the son in custody

Elder Abuse
Page 24
Administration on Aging (AoA)
https://aoa.acl.gov/AoA_Programs/Elder_Rights/EA_Prevention/
whatIsEA.aspx
Each year hundreds of thousands of older persons are abused,
neglected, and exploited. Many victims are people who are older,
frail, and vulnerable and cannot help themselves and depend on
others to meet their most basic needs.
Abusers of older adults are both women and men, and may be
family members, friends, or “trusted others.”
In general, elder abuse is a term referring to any knowing,
intentional, or negligent act by a caregiver or any other person
that causes harm or a serious risk of harm to a vulnerable adult.
“How is this a real thing?” With all the programs, agency's
and awareness to this problem how does it still exist?”
“We can and will stop this, one person at a time if
necessary’
