Forty-three people have been arrested on suspicion of Domestic Abuse offences so far as part of our continued commitment to tackle those harming our community through Operation Shield. 

Of these, twelve have been charged and remanded with offences including assault, harassment, stalking, public order, breaching of domestic violence protection, or non-molestation orders, and are now going through the judicial process. 

But our commitment to tackling Domestic Abuse doesn’t just involve arresting suspects, we also have a specialist team working around the clock to ensure that our victims are supported and protected. 

Based within the Criminal Investigation Departments (CID) on both sides of the Humber, the Domestic Abuse Safeguarding and Investigation Team (DASIT) has been created specifically to support and safeguard victims of domestic abuse, including any children involved, by providing them the best possible service and care.
