Domestic Violence Database Considered
Although Kentucky State Police are mandated by law to retain a detailed database of all auto collisions in the state, they have never been ordered to collect systematic information pertaining to domestic violence. Advocates and experts feel such a practice would help lawmakers craft better public policy which may help save lives. They say it would help officials understand who is most at risk. Leaders in both chambers of the Kentucky General Assembly, Senate President David Williams and House Speaker Greg Stumbo, say they are interested in considering such legislation.
