What must peace officers ensure during a family violence call when the victim is leaving?

During a family violence call, it is critical for peace officers to ensure an orderly movement of the victim as they leave the situation. This involves providing a safe and supportive environment that facilitates the victim's departure, ensuring that they can exit without fear of further harm or intimidation from the offender. An orderly movement allows peace officers to maintain control of the scene while also prioritizing the victim's safety and emotional well-being during a potentially volatile and traumatic time.

The focus on the orderly movement also highlights the importance of protocol in handling domestic situations, where emotions can run high and tensions may escalate quickly. By overseeing the process and ensuring that the victim feels secure while leaving, officers can help prevent any reactions from the offender that could lead to further violence or complications.

In contrast, while timely resolution of disputes, immediate arrest of the offender, and access to legal resources are important aspects of handling family violence cases, they do not prioritize the immediate and personal safety of the victim in the same manner as ensuring their orderly movement. Each of these alternative choices addresses different components of the response to family violence but does not encapsulate the immediate need for managing the victim's exit safely and effectively.
