Bedfordshire Police makes it easier for domestic abuse victims to access information about potential risk

Bedfordshire Police makes it easier for domestic abuse victims to access information about potential risk

Bedfordshire Police is making it easier to enquire about a partner’s violent past, as applications can be made online, via an easy-to-use secure form.
