S.A.F.E. at Work
Support • Awareness • Freedom • Empowerment
Domestic violence is still a major issue in our community. In 2024, Albuquerque saw nearly 17,000 domestic violence calls—a slight increase from last year. While national numbers are going down, ours remain high. That’s why it’s so important to create safe spaces wherever we can—including the workplace.
Why the Workplace Matters
Many survivors say work is one of the few places they feel empowered. When employers take action—by promoting awareness, sharing resources, and building a supportive culture—victims are more likely to get help and take steps toward safety.
The Albuquerque Police Department and the City of Albuquerque have launched the S.A.F.E. at Work program to:
- Support those experiencing abuse
- Provide resources to employees dealing with stress or anger at home
What Domestic Violence Can Look Like
Abuse isn’t always physical. It can be:
- Emotional
- Psychological
- Financial
- Verbal
- Sexual
- Technological
Warning Signs
Look out for behaviors like:
- Jealousy or controlling actions
- Isolation from family or friends
- Verbal or emotional abuse
- Blaming others for problems
- Hurting pets or children
- Threats or forced sex
- Controlling money, schedules, or your whereabouts
- Explosive anger, especially when drinking or using drugs
You’re Not Alone
If you’re experiencing abuse—or worried about someone who is—help is available.
- Learn how to support a friend, coworker, or loved one
- City employees can find anger management and counseling services through Behavioral Health Services.
In an Emergency, Call 911
Call the police as soon as you can—assault, even by a family member is a crime. Get medical attention, ask the medical staff to photograph your injuries and keep detailed records in the event legal action is necessary. Contact the court system about civil protective orders. Leave the scene immediately or as soon as possible.
