The Police Departments of East Windsor, Hightstown, Washington and West Windsor, in collaboration with Womanspace, Inc., are currently recruiting volunteers for the domestic violence victim response team.  The team members will work in conjunction with the police to provide support, information and referral at the time of a domestic violence crisis.  Applicants must be 18 years of age or older, have access to transportation, possess a valid driver’s license, be willing to be on-call a minimum of six 12- hour shifts per month, and submit to a background investigation, including fingerprinting.  All successful applicants will undergo an 80-hour mandatory/certification training course.  This training course will be held over a six-week period, during evening and weekend hours.  Interested citizens should contact Lieutenant Timothy Courtney of the West Windsor Police, at (609) 799-1222 for further details.  The next certification training course begins at the end of March 2006.
