The strategies of the Domestic Violence Branch of the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency in combating domestic violence is highlighted in National Sheriff Magazine. This comprehensive approach stresses public safety and the prevention of further victimization "by providing close supervision and treatment of individuals convicted of domestic violence offenses." This program is a collaborative effort combining resources of both the public and private sectors to address this pervasive problem.

Also available are three podcasts containing interviews with Community Supervision Officers (CSO) relating the scope of their activities and experiences in promoting positive change for both victim and offender.
