Operation Save
If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call 911.
Operation Save: Survivors and Victims Empowered Domestic Violence Section, has been tasked with providing personalized assistance to victims of domestic violence, both on the scene and after, and coordinating the service of all court orders pertaining to domestic violence.
Our goal is to help lessen the impact the crime has on victims. Because domestic violence is a serious offense and affects so many victims every year, the Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office has created this endeavor to help stop the violence. It is important that victims understand the process that follows a 9-1-1 call in a domestic violence situation and what can be expected from the Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office.
For more information on the APSO’s SAVE team, please contact us at (225) 621-8364, Monday through Friday, 8 am – 5 pm. After hours, contact 9-1-1 in the event of an emergency or (225) 621-8300, option 1 (available 24 hours).
