A new state-of-the-art Special Victims Unit facility opened at 188 West 230th St. in the Bronx. The facility co-locates NYPD SVU detectives with the Bronx District Attorney’s Office, Safe Horizon, and domestic violence responders to provide integrated, immediate support. The design emphasizes privacy and emotional safety through features such as interview rooms and welcoming waiting areas to create a warmer, more comfortable environment for victims and families.
