ASHLAND — Ashland County Law Enforcement officially recognized the beginning of Domestic Violence Awareness Month on Monday, Oct. 3.
“Ashland County is so blessed with supportive Law Enforcement for Victims of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assaults,” said Rebecca Garcia, program director at Rape Crisis Domestic Violence Safe Haven.
Ashland Police Department Chief Lay and Ashland County Sheriff Risner along with their officers and deputies have been supporting victims of Ashland throughout the years. They are supporters of the mission of Safe Haven.
All members of the departments stand in solidarity and wear “We Believe You” pins on their lapels and cruisers will have the domestic violence symbol magnet throughout the month of October.
