While police are gatekeepers to the criminal justice system for intimate partner violence (IPV), women are often divided about their helpfulness. The current secondary, mixed-methods analysis examined 575 Canadian women's impressions regarding police intervention (50.3% Indigenous, 43.4% White, and 6.4% visible minority). In more than half of the cases (53.3%), the police arrested/removed their partner/ex-partner, 53% said the police "just talked to them," and 8% were also arrested. While 40% were satisfied with the police response, 21.5% thought police did not take them seriously, and 10.9% were explicit about the police not treating them well.
