Saskatchewan RCMP launch Domestic Violence Awareness Month
Start the conversation today.
That’s the RCMP’s goal when it comes to November, Domestic Violence Awareness Month across the province.
Battleford’s RCMP Staff Sgt. Darcy Woolfitt says that this is a serious issue that they look into frequently. It becomes problematic within families that have far reaching consequences. Woolfitt mentioned it isn’t just the physical aspect, but domestic violence can be brought forth through mental, physical, emotional, and sexual abuse as well.
“It’s very important for these to be reported to the police so they can be dealt with,” he said. “Our justice system has a variety of ways of dealing with people who are the abusers in these situations.”
