The purpose of this paper is three-fold: to describe the problem of domestic abuse in police families within the context of domestic abuse in South Africa; to highlight particular aspects of domestic abuse by police members by giving voice to some of the survivors and victims; and to offer a few suggestions to improve the situation of police partners in abusive relationships.
