Domestic violence is happening around the country every few minutes, even in places like Cape Cod. Former state police officer and state representative Timothy Whelan sat down with producer Noelle Annonen to take a deep dive into how law enforcement respond to domestic violence calls, how officers try to help victims, and discuss what can be done to prevent intimate partner crimes.

‘Intimate - an Upper Cape Catch Limited series,' aims to shed light on the often overlooked social problem of intimate partner and domestic violence and abuse.
