SOLANO COUNTY, CA (MPG) - We invite you to join the Solano County District Attorney’s Office in conjunction with Fairfield, Vacaville and Suisun City Police Departments on Oct. 17 at 12 p.m. at the courthouse steps located at 530 Union Avenue, Fairfield, where we will recognize Domestic Violence Awareness Month. 

We will honor this time by recognizing the impact that domestic violence can have on all our homes, families and communities. We would like to recognize all the survivors and those whose lives have been affected by domestic violence and remember those whose lives were lost to domestic violence.

We thank all of our first responders, county partners, non-profit organizations, and all the individuals who work every day towards ensuring that victims of domestic violence are able to escape their abuse.

“Our priority at the District Attorney’s Office is to ensure victims are safe, their voices are heard and rights preserved in the criminal justice system, and that their offenders are held accountable. We must continue to work tirelessly towards removing any and all barriers that stand in the way of victims’ rights, safety and justice,” said District Attorney Krishna Abrams. 

The District Attorney’s Victim/Witness Assistance Unit is available to support victims with a wide variety of services. If you or someone you know has been a victim of domestic violence and need the assistance of an advocate, please call 707-784-6827. If you have an emergency, please call 911. 

Let’s all challenge ourselves to be more proactive by reporting what we see and reaching out to those in need so together we can break this cycle of violence.
