Domestic Violence Resources – Wagoner County Sheriff’s Office

You Are Not Alone

If you are the victim of domestic violence, you are not alone. According to the CDC, about 1 in 4 women and nearly 1 in 10 men have experienced contact sexual violence, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner.

Our deputies and staff work with community partners and victim advocates to provide support, safety planning, and resources with compassion and professionalism.

What Is Domestic Violence?

The U.S. Department of Justice defines domestic violence as a pattern of abusive behavior in any relationship used by one partner to gain or maintain power and control over another intimate partner.

• Puts you down, calls you names, or makes you feel “crazy”
• Destroys your property or abuses your pets
• Threatens to hurt you or commit suicide if you leave
• Forces or coerces you to have sex when you don’t want to
