LAW ENFORCEMENT ADVOCACY
At the Elizabeth Buffum Chace Center, we understand that it is difficult contacting law enforcement with questions regarding domestic violence and sexual assault, even in times of crisis. That is why we have law enforcement advocates who work in the Coventry, Cranston, East Greenwich, Foster, Glocester, Johnston, Lincoln, North Kingstown, North Providence, North Smithfield, Scituate, Smithfield, Warwick, West Greenwich, and West Warwick Police Departments.
​
Please call our hotline at 401-738-1700 to obtain contact information for
Law Enforcement Advocates in the above listed towns.
LAW ENFORCEMENT ADVOCATES ARE NOT POLICE OFFICERS BUT ADVOCATES EMPLOYED BY A NONPROFIT AGENCY TO PROVIDE CRISIS INTERVENTION SERVICES.

Please see the information below to speak to an LEA in your city or town.
