Summary: Responding to a domestic abuse call dressed in everyday, "normal" clothes, Mita Felman is in contrast to her partner, a uniformed police officer. In such conflicts, experience has shown that having a volunteer like Mita along can be calming and reassuring because the police are often viewed in that community with trepidation. Mita is able to assist the victim and also the officer, who can then better focus on the situation, the perpetrator, and the law enforcement needs, knowing the victim is in good hands.
