"First of all, one is too many." The Texas-based study, conducted by the Arlington, Texas, Police Department and the Southwestern Law Enforcement Institute in Richardson, Texas, found that nearly half the departments cited had no specific policy for dealing with domestic abuse.

The study was released last year. But now, a heightened awareness over domestic violence has prompted police departments nationwide to initiate counseling, education and prevention programs. "They're not going to wait until there's an episode that makes the front page," said Kevin Love, professor of management at Central Michigan University and a police expert. "They're more interested in doing a program to help the officers, to avoid the negative publicity all together." One of the factors contributing to domestic violence among police officers is their work: Many find it hard to let go of the aggressive behavior often required on the job once they get home, said Detroit Police Commander John Courie.
