Domestic Violence Complaint Process
Mandatory Arrest: Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2C:25-21(a), when a person claims to be a victim of domestic violence, and where law enforcement responding to the incident finds probable cause to believe that domestic violence has occurred, the law enforcement officer must arrest the person who is alleged to be the person who subjected the alleged victim to domestic violence. The officer must sign a criminal complaint under any of the following circumstances:
-
The alleged victim exhibits signs of injury caused by an act of domestic violence;
-
A warrant is in effect;
-
There is probable cause to believe that the person has committed contempt, and there is probable cause to believe that the person has been served with the order alleged to have been violated;
-
There is probable cause to believe that a weapon has been involved in the commission of an act of domestic violence.
​
Discretionary Arrest: Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2C:25-21(b), a law enforcement officer may arrest a person or may sign a criminal complaint against a person (or may do both arrest and sign a criminal complaint) where there is probable cause to believe that an act of domestic violence has been committed, but where none of the above conditions apply.
