Leading the Charge Against Domestic Violence in Saint Paul and Ramsey County

The City of Saint Paul and Ramsey County are national leaders in confronting the serious issue of domestic abuse. Our rich collaborations with domestic violence programs, justice systems, medical providers, government entities, spiritual groups, teaching institutions, sexual assault organizations, community programs and St. Paul/Ramsey County’s diverse communities have changed the way our community and communities across the nation, respond to domestic violence.

Our successes, as well as our commitment to continue to move forward, is due to our community’s unique ability to share a common vision and genuinely challenge ourselves and support each other to reach even further. In joining our expertise and voices to end domestic violence, we have saved lives.

Effective Collaborations

Domestic violence crisis support and services that you may require are centrally located at Bridges to Safety (BTS) victim service center located in the courthouse in downtown St. Paul.  SPIP advocates and our other partners provide on-site services free of charge.  Opened for walk-ins,  Monday - Friday 8am to 4:30pm (walk-ins until 4 pm).  For details, please visit our Services page.

Blueprint for Safety is a national prototype for justice systems to effectively increase victim safety and hold perpetrators accountable for their violence.  Co-created by the St. Paul & Ramsey County Domestic Abuse Intervention Project (SPIP), the City of Saint Paul and Praxis International in 2010, the Blueprint’s principles, policies and practices link justice agencies together in a coherent, philosophically sound, domestic violence intervention and response model. Visit this page to learn more.

FLARE-UP teams a SPIP advocate and St. Paul Police Investigator in providing on-site intervention and advocacy to victims of highly lethal assaults.  FLARE-UP services continue throughout the entire legal process,  including tracking lethal offenders, providing increased support for victim safety, and identifying and prosecuting dangerous offenders through aggressive investigation and case processing.  Since its inception in 2005, it has significantly contributed to the reduction in domestic homicides in St. Paul by over 65%.
