Overview
The technology behind a life-saving program
The Utah Domestic Violence Lethality Assessment Program (LAP) was created to give law enforcement a standardized way to evaluate risk at the scene of a domestic violence call, and to connect victims with service providers the moment that risk was identified.
Mophead Media built the statewide digital reporting tool that made the program operationally possible, used from 2016 through 2023 under the Utah Domestic Violence Coalition's leadership.
The Challenge
A patchwork of forms could not scale
Nearly half of Utah's law enforcement agencies needed a single, consistent way to assess lethality risk, document that assessment, and directly connect victims with domestic violence service providers. Without a shared digital system, assessments were inconsistent, slow, and disconnected from the organizations that could actually help.
The Solution
One statewide assessment and reporting system
For the Utah Domestic Violence Coalition, Mophead Media developed a statewide reporting tool that standardized the Lethality Assessment Program across participating agencies. Law enforcement officers at the scene could conduct an assessment, document it in the system, and coordinate directly with domestic violence service providers, all within a single workflow.
Meaningful Systems
"Building this system for UDVC was meaningful because it helped turn a complex statewide process into a clearer, more usable workflow for officers, advocates, and service providers."

Program Impact, 2016 to 2023
Utah Domestic Violence Lethality Assessment Program
The Impact
A foundation strong enough for the state to build on
From 2016 to 2023, the LAP reporting system helped nearly half of Utah's law enforcement agencies work directly with domestic violence service providers. Officers conducted more than 31,000 assessments through the platform, connecting thousands of victims to life-saving services at the moment of greatest risk.
In 2023, following the passage of SB117, the State of Utah assumed management of the program, building on the foundation created under UDVC's leadership. A state-level initiative now scales on the groundwork laid by a nonprofit coalition and the tool that made its work measurable.
