Domestic violence is a pattern of behavior used by someone to control their intimate partner and other family and household members. The behaviors may include physical, emotional, psychological, financial, technological, and sexual abuse. The North Syracuse Police Department works in partnership with local resource agencies to assist victims of domestic violence in whatever way possible. If you, or anyone you know, is experiencing domestic violence in our community the North Syracuse Police Department stands ready to assist. The North Syracuse Police Department aims to be a local law enforcement resource that provides a survivor-centered, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive approach to addressing domestic violence.
