Indian Country Law Enforcement and Community Outreach – Native American Committee of the New Mexico Intimate Partner Violence Death Review Team

On June 9, 2016, Assistant U.S. Attorney/Tribal Liaison David Adams and Victim Advocate Vandever collaborated with the Native American Committee of the New Mexico Intimate Partner Violence Death Review Team.  The Team was established by the New Mexico Legislature under NMSA 1978 §31-22-4.1.  It is tasked with reviewing all domestic and sexual violence-related deaths in New Mexico to identify gaps in system responses to victims at the local and state level, and to recommend strategies for improving these interventions.  Through the case review process, the Team hopes to acquire the knowledge necessary to develop strategies to prevent future injury and death associated with domestic and sexual violence.
