Notes:	"At-a-Glance" Outlines the methodology and findings of a process evaluation conducted to assess the effectiveness of the Colorado Springs (USA) Police Department’s Domestic Violence Enhanced Response Team (DVERT). DVERT comprises professionals from key human service agencies and is responsible for investigating and responding to the most severe cases of domestic and family violence in the area. A background to the initiative, its activities and the types of cases dealt with by the programme is provided and the various ways in which DVERT advocates and police have intervened in these situations are described. The perceptions of clients and staff of DVERT in relation to the programme’s effectiveness are examined and the key themes emerging from these interviews are summarised.
