Notes:	This article, written by a detective inspector in the Victoria Police Crime Department, considers the role of police in reducing the risk of homelessness following domestic violence. It argues that reforms to policing in Victoria, in particular the creation of Family Violence Safety Notices (FVSNs) under the Family Violence Protection Act 2008, have improved the capacity of police to prevent homelessness. FVSNs, a form of exclusion order, enable police to remove perpetrators from the home for up to 72 hours. The article ends by briefly commenting on the launch of the Enhanced Family Violence Service Delivery Model, which includes the creation of family violence teams across Victoria.
