Which statement about the review and advice form is true?

• A. It is optional for non-dominant aggressor
• B. It is mandatory for non-dominant aggressor
• C. It applies to arrests of both parties
• D. It determines the dominant aggressor

Answer: (A)

This form is a tool used in domestic violence responses to document the officer’s review of the incident and to provide safety guidance to the non-dominant aggressor. The important point is that completing it for the non-dominant aggressor is optional, not mandatory. Officers may offer this form based on safety concerns, need for resources, and departmental policy. It does not govern arrests of both parties, nor does it decide who is the dominant aggressor; that determination is made from the overall evidence and statements in the case. So, the statement that it is optional for the non-dominant aggressor is the correct one.
