Domestic and Family Violence Police Incident or Referral
Detects police domestic and family violence (DFV) incident records and the referrals police send to specialist and government services: Queensland QPRIME DV occurrences, Victoria Police L17 Family Violence Reports, NSW DV events, and DFV incident, call-out and attendance records in other jurisdictions. These records travel beyond police to housing, child safety, health, education and specialist DFV services, so they turn up in general agency mailboxes and file shares.

- Medium: DFV incident language is common in police annual reports, media and procedures, so enforce tiers depend on a police reference or a populated party field. The L17 form code alone is ambiguous and is only a primary, never evidence. 85/75 are heuristic evidence tiers, not measured accuracy.

Known false positives
- Police annual reports, procedures and training that describe DFV incident handling. Mitigation: Enforce tiers require a police reference number or a populated party field.
- L17 used as an unrelated code (lot, grid reference, part number). Mitigation: L17 is only a primary; enforce tiers still require police reference or party evidence.
