U.S. Senator Chris Coons, co-chair of the Senate Law Enforcement Caucus, hosted a roundtable discussion on February 21, 2011 on the importance of reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), which is being considered by the Senate. The Senator led a discussion at the New Castle County Department of Public Safety building about the tools for stopping domestic violence with a dozen representatives of Delaware’s state, county and local law enforcement agencies, advocacy, community and non-profit organizations, family court, and the Delaware Attorney General’s office. Senator Coons is one of 50 co-sponsors of legislation to reauthorize VAWA, which has come under threat from some Senate Republicans who oppose the measure in its current form.
