establish standards for FVIPs in Georgia. GCFV also assists GDC in training,
certifying and monitoring FVIPs. Certified FVIPs are designed to
rehabilitate family violence offenders and are charged with prioritizing
victim safety and participant accountability.
GCFV works to create and maintain family violence task forces within each of the 49 judicial circuits of Georgia. Statistics show that implementing a Coordinated Community Response through a Task Force can help to lower a community’s family violence homicide rate.
