Welfare check

English to Portuguese Law/Patents Law (general) Police work
A Police welfare check is the act of a police officer attending to ascertain the welfare of an individual or individuals, either in their place of residence or a public place.
Welfare checks typically involve a partner agency or member of the public asking the police to attend and check on someone. In these circumstances, the powers for the police to intervene are extremely limited in all but the most urgent of circumstances. This is particularly the case when the person in question is inside a private address, but also applies when the person is in a public place.
The only powers of entry or detention exist purely in emergency situations.

visita domiciliária da polícia

A polícia de Los Angeles, nos Estados Unidos, recebeu uma ligação inusitada de uma pessoa que, alegava ser amiga de uma mulher de 27 anos que precisava de uma visita da polícia para checar se estava tudo bem, no que os americanos chamam de “welfare check”, que pode ser solicitado através do 911 por qualquer cidadão daquele país.

As Visitas Domiciliárias têm como objetivo verificar e avaliar as condições habitacionais do agregado familiar, e observar se a criança ou jovem tem acesso a condições adequadas de higiene e salubridade. É também uma forma de conhecer e observar a família no seu contexto, assim como toda a interação e dinâmica familiar.

verificação (policial) de bem-estar

No processo em discussão agora, os policiais entraram na casa de Edward Caniglia, de 68 anos, por entenderem que ele e outras pessoas poderiam estar em perigo. Isso porque a esposa de Caniglia, preocupada porque ele não atendia ao telefone depois de um surto, ligou para a polícia para uma "verificação de bem-estar".

diligência de socorro em potencial

The target of the welfare check might (-> potencial) be in need of help (-> socorro), and because of this officers are requested to go make an inspection (-> diligência) on their state/condition.

You may also use "abordagem" instead of "diligência". The former is more common than the latter in situations in which the officers are from patrol units rather than investigation ones.
