A domestic violence survivor, now a cop, Valerie Martinez is making a big difference in her town: via teamtrace
Las Vegas's death investigators witnessed the atrocities of the Route 91 shooting, then had to grapple with the difficult task of healing themselves.In early 2014, Caccioppi and fellow activist Kim Sport visited Lafourche to learn about their work policing domestic violence cases.
Martinez arrived in Thibodaux in 2001, after escaping an abusive relationship. [Annie Flanagan for The Trace] Earlier this month, I was talking to Martinez on the phone when she had to put it down so she could field a 911 call. Her voice was steady and warm. “OK, let’s get you safe. Is he coming back? Do you need medical attention? Nothing’s going to happen that you don’t want. The baby is one? OK, why don’t you go ahead and pack a bag. You don’t have to explain. You love him, but you want him to be a better person.
