In this gripping Lifeline episode, we confront the deadly realities of domestic violence and its profound impact on law enforcement. Moderated by Josh Bronson of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, former police officer and nationally recognized expert on intimate partner violence, the conversation features:
- Mark Wynn, retired Metro Nashville Police Department lieutenant and international advocate for domestic violence prevention and effective response.
- Bruce Bieber, father of Deputy Abigail Bieber, who was tragically killed in a murder-suicide by her boyfriend, also a deputy sheriff.
Through personal stories and professional insights, this episode explores the lethal risks domestic violence poses to both victims and officers. It also traces the historical evolution of law enforcement’s response—from minimal intervention to the development of specialized units and community partnerships.
Key Topics:
- The increased danger officers face during domestic violence calls
- The shift in policing strategies over time
- Balancing victim protection with officer safety
- Identifying and responding to high-risk domestic violence situations
- Officer involved domestic violence
