On June 9, the Rachel Coalition held a graduation for its most recent class of Domestic Violence Response Team (DVRT) volunteers at B’nai Keshet in Montclair. Graduates were required to complete 40 hours of training to become members of their local municipalities’ Domestic Violence Response Teams. These individuals are called to the police station when a victim of domestic violence visits their local police department to report a domestic violence incident.

The names of the graduates have been intentionally omitted to protect the identities of these volunteers who will assist residents in domestic violence situations.
