Domestic violence is one of the most common and confronting aspects of policing. This week at Police College students experience the complexities of dealing with people in domestic conflict. At the Rossiville bakery a woman has been assaulted by her partner. The fight is still in progress as Kyle heads in to separate the screaming couple. On the beat, the rookies are exposed to the unpredictable nature of domestics. At 21, Corey Wolven is just 4 months out of College. Now working the beat in Sydney’s Rosehill, Corey and his team negotiate with a couple in the middle of a fight … the woman is refusing to leave. The situation seems resolved but several hours later Corey is back at the same house. In Mount Druitt, domestics are an everyday job for aspiring prosecutor Tony Strik. In the middle of the night, a man has threatened to kill his ex-partner. Its Tony's job to deal with the terrified family.
