Notes:	In 1998/99, more resources were utilised by police in responding to domestic violence incidents than any other single reported crime. The purpose of the Ombudsman’s report was to canvass possible ways in which the NSW Police Service may be able to better utilise its limited resources and continue to improve its service delivery in the domestic violence area. The report identifies a number of ‘main themes’ and issues 25 detailed recommendations. In the first category, problems are identified with training, the role of domestic violence liaison officers, and failure by police officers to adhere to the Service’s own policies and procedures for responding to domestic violence incidents. The main finding was the need for the Police Service to better monitor its response to domestic violence.
