"Families getting together, people getting together for functions and a lot of time alcohol is involved and plays a part in that so typically this time of the year, with these gatherings we see an increase in it," Forgey says. Sophia says she witnessed it first-hand, "I know when he drank, he was not the best. He was not coherent, you know? He was a mess when he drank."

ASO was the first agency in the state of florida to adopt the Lethality Assessment Plan. The plan has officers ask the victim a series of questions and later put them in contact with the appropriate service provider. "This is something that in the past we just verbally told them about it and then we would and then we'd get in the car and move on the next call. We're sort of bridging that gap now and sort of giving them an alternative and hope for a way out if they're looking for it," Forgey says.
