The Sacramento County Domestic Violence Coordinating Council (DVCC) envisions a community where agencies representing all sectors of our society work collaboratively to meet the needs of the victims of domestic violence and promote policy on issues regarding domestic violence.  The DVCC is comprised of four standing committees: Law Enforcement, Health Care, Domestic Violence Death Review Team, and Community. Through committee work and bi-annual meetings, the DVCC will monitor existing services and responses between governmental and community organizations.  The DVCC will also initiate and promote programs to reduce the incidence of domestic violence.
