The picture of domestic violence…..

It can be anyone; any race, religion, ethnicity, income level or age.  Domestic Violence affects everyone. 1 in 4 women and 1 in 10 men will be victims of domestic violence. In collaboration with kNifve’s (Kootenai Northwest Independent Film and Video Entertainment Society) and produced by WJ Lazerus, the Post Falls Police Department proudly presents our Public Service Announcement on domestic violence.  For more information or resources please contact the Post Falls Police Victim Services Unit at (208) 773-1080.

 


Center Target Sports Honored

Posted in: Victim Services Unit

This morning the Post Falls Police Department honored CTS for our ongoing support of their Victim Services Unit.  Since 2005 through our "Refuse to be a Victim" classes we have donated $6700 to the O.A.S.I.S. program.  We were very humbled and appreciative of the recognition.  However, our efforts are so miniscule in comparison to the great work done by not only the Victim Services Unit but the entire Post Falls Police department.

As you know, I teach in police departments and at law enforcement conferences across the country.  I can honestly say that I would put our local PD up against any department I have ever worked with.  The professionalism and dedication exemplified by these men in woman is something we should all be proud of.  Please take the time to help and support the PFPD whenever possible.
