#OPDV
Looking forward to discussing dynamics of OPDV and learning from an incredible set of panels at Sojourner House’s October conference! A huge shoutout/thanks to the organizers for pulling together so many important conversations in one room!

As you can see, the brief gives context on OPDV and proposes non-carceral, non-law enforcement focused ways to move forward. I'm in the process of passing it on to policymakers I spoke about in a previous post, with any luck generating more action on the issue.

I launched into my 29th rotation around the sun this year at the same time @scholars.org published my brief on police officer-perpetrated domestic violence (OPDV). Here are some key quotes:

On Thursday, Madison Xiaoyao Bogard and I will be discussing OPDV and officer-perpetrated intimate homicide at the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences annual conference

About 6 months ago, a paper of mine put out the call for more survivor-focused police officer-perpetrated domestic violence (OPDV) work. I'm excited to begin answering that call this week.

Bruce’s list pulls on the human cost of this issue, with 100 cases not just being a number, but an urgent call to pay attention.

I spent today writing letters, editing Wikipedia pages, and drafting materials to present on OPDV. With any luck, it’ll keep driving us forward. More work ahead.

Police domestic violence is often described as an “isolated incident.” But patterns like this only look isolated when no one counts them.

Across states and departments, OPDV cases run rampant until they explode, leaving survivors and perpetrators in a crucible waiting to explode.
February 24, 2026 at 8:44 PM
Bruce, whose daughter (a police officer) was killed by her boyfriend (a police officer) in 2022, has been tracking media-reported cases OPDV since August.

The fact that a family member of a victim is maintaining the most visible record of OPDV shows the apathy for the issue in the U.S.

Continuing to talk about OPDV is the only way we will build momentum on it. I'm grateful to Scholars Strategy Network for their support in editing and pitching this piece, and i'm thrilled @msmagazine.com had the interest and resolve to publish it.

Police Officer Domestic Violence Is A Crisis. It’s Time for States to Take Action.
Intimate partner and domestic violence in police families, paired with oversight and policies, make officer-abusers a public safety threat.

I will never be able to go thru a wooded traffic circle again without wondering who might be in there. (LOL)

I Really enjoyed Nowhere Island - it gave me a weird/good summer holidays vibe, where you spend time outdoors building dens in the woods with pals, as well as reminding me of this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPDv...

At the end of June, my article on Police Officer-Perpetrated Domestic Violence (OPDV) was published in Violence Against Women. I’ve now added it to ResearchGate and created this summary deck as a way to counter the many silos paywalls create.

Thrilled to pass along that, after years of focus, collaboration, and support, my first paper on police officer-perpetrated domestic violence (OPDV) has made it into a journal. If you are paywalled out of the work, or want to discuss / collaborate on OPDV, don't hesitate to reach out
