Officerinvolved domestic violence
Officer–involved domestic violence (OIDV) is domestic violence or intimate partner violence committed by law enforcement officers against their marital or intimate partners, children, and cohabitating and non-cohabitating family members. OIDV is exacerbated by the law enforcement officer's exposure to violence at work, alcohol abuse, identity and culture of authoritarianism and coercive force amongst police, and access to firearms. It is difficult to collect empirical data on, prevent, and prosecute due to the blue wall of silence, victims' belief in the "omnipotence of the abuser," officer offender's training of coercive tactics, knowledge of the law and court system, access to surveillance technology, and unwillingness to investigate and charge officers with domestic violence which would prevent them from possessing a firearm under the Domestic Violence Offender Gun Ban.
