Complete

The Municipality of Nova Iguaçu created the Maria da Penha Municipal Patrol to accompany female victims of domestic violence who have received urgent protective measures from the Court. A pair of police officers, always one man and one woman, patrol the city on Monday through Saturday from 10am to 6pm in a Maria da Penha Patrol vehicle easily identified by a large purple stripe. The officers use an online reporting database to target locations with the highest incidence of domestic violence.
