A Message from the Commissioner

As Commissioner of Public Safety, I am particularly proud of our department's leadership in producing this web-based training tool on Domestic Violence in the Workplace. We have worked closely with the Maine Coalition to End Domestic Violence to make it an effective course. It is my hope that our employees and all Maine's work force will benefit as a result.

Domestic violence is a widespread problem in Maine and the rest of the country. It's a public health and safety issue that we are committed to battling because domestic violence affects everyone.

This interactive program is a key tool in that effort. It will teach you how to recognize it, and how to respond to it. Most importantly, it will show you how to help yourself, a co-worker or someone you supervise who is involved in domestic violence.

Through the leadership of Governor Baldacci, Maine intends to be the ally of those who need assistance in dealing with this problem. We are creating a culture that encourages victims to come forward for help and holds abusers accountable.

To learn how these efforts are working, let's look at the story of "Sara", one of our employees.
