(City of Glendale)
On Oct. 6, Mayor Jerry P. Weiers and members of the Glendale City Council visited the Glendale Family Advocacy Center to deliver a proclamation recognizing October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month in the city.
“Domestic violence is a nationwide issue, and Glendale is doing our part to be part of the solution," Mayor Weiers stated. “The statistics are heartbreaking — one in six homicide victims and nearly half of all female homicide victims are killed by a current or former partner. That must end. I have faith in our public safety personnel and community partners to keep working toward reducing these numbers and saving lives.”
Each October, cities across the country take time to raise awareness and encourage healthy, respectful, and nonviolent relationships. In Glendale, that effort is strengthened by the Glendale Police Department and local organizations who work year-round to support survivors and educate the community.
