Domestic Violence Court News

Domestic Violence Court was founded in 2012 with a grant from the Department of Justice, Office of Violence Against Women, and over the years we have continued to work on a Coordinated Community Response within the Tucson community to make sure that victims are offered services, constitutional rights of all parties are respected and convicted offenders are held accountable.

We work with the Tucson City Prosecutors Office, the City of Tucson Public Defenders office, Emerge! Center Against Domestic Abuse, the Tucson Police Department, Pima County Superior Court Probation Department, Perceptions Counseling, Next Steps Counseling, Marana Health Services, Community Outreach Program for the Deaf, Arizona Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, the Adult Loss of Hearing Association, DeafHope, Tucson Adult Rehabilitation Center, and other agencies.

The Court has received several recognitions and has pursued numerous projects in furtherance of our mission.
