Tammy,

I would not really know of a support group that would help with that; it sounds like something a lawyer would be needed for. However, the local domestic violence program where you live should have some tips and information, and maybe they could assist with this issue. It surely complicates things when an abuser is also a police officer and is protected by others "on the job". I know that lawyers can be quite expensive, but there may be someone who would take the case pro bono, if the woman whose husband beat her contacts her/him. Other than that, I'm not sure what you can do about it, besides getting a restraining order (for the woman who was married to this jackass).
