Domestic Abuse Prevention Project

What is DAPP?

Since 1986, the Domestic Abuse Prevention Project or DAPP has worked to improve the response to domestic violence in Boulder County.  By treating domestic violence as a crime, we strive to raise individual and community awareness of ways to prevent further abuse.

The project is a coordinated effort among Law Enforcement, the District Attorney’s Office, the Judiciary, Community Justice Services, Probation, Social Services, Battered Women’s Shelters, Perpetrator Counseling Providers and concerned Community Members.  DAPP is a liaison to all involved agencies, monitors the effectiveness of system wide efforts and maintains statistics on all reported cases of domestic violence in Boulder County.  DAPP is funded by Boulder County as well as the cities of Longmont and Boulder.
