The Oceanside Police Department encourages you to call your local police department or counseling center if you or a loved one is involved in an abusive relationship. To reach the Oceanside Police Department, call 760-435-4900. If you are violent with others, admit that you have a problem and ask for help.
The Department's Family Protection Unit takes domestic violence seriously. It hurts everyone inside the family and throughout the community and is reported in families from all racial, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. Rich, poor, young and old, victims struggle with the same emotions and fears. Victims are provided information on available resources and contacts so that they may facilitate their removal from these dangerous situations.
Gael Strack, San Diego Assistant City Attorney has been quoted as saying, "Oceanside and Chula Vista are among the exemplary law enforcement agencies when it comes to handling domestic violence cases."
You may be in a battering relationship if you:
- Are frightened of your partner’s temper
- Agree to situations because you are afraid to hurt your partner’s feelings or are afraid of your partner’s anger
- Don’t want to abandon your partner because he/she is troubled or he/she needs you to get along
- Find yourself apologizing to yourself and others for your partner’s behavior when you are treated badly
- Have been hit, kicked, shoved or had objects thrown at you by your partner when jealous or angry
- Choose friends and activities based on how your partner will react
You may be a batterer if you:
- Are suspicious of your partner when he/she leaves home
- Get very angry very quickly
- Criticize or find fault with your partner a lot
- Have difficulty expressing your feelings
- Drink heavily or use drugs
- Feel the need to protect your partner to the extent that you want to make decisions regarding his/her behavior and decisions
- Have broken or thrown objects in anger, especially if thrown at your partner
