DuPage County police and paramedics can now offer victims of domestic violence and abuse a more discreet way to learn about help — a QR code that, when they scan it with their phones, leads to a special website.
The idea came from John Caldwell, a fire medic with the Lisle-Woodridge Fire Protection District. Caldwell said paramedics often are called to treat people they suspect have been injured by an abuser. They try to give the victim a “tear sheet” that lists agencies that can help them.
