It’s a time set aside for Americans to raise awareness of victims rights and services by volunteering to serve victims in their time of need and to help them get justice.
Mobile County District Attorney Ashley Rich says there are local resources available for victims, and many of those resources will be available at Thursday’s vigil.
“It’s vital for crime victims to remain connected to law enforcement throughout the criminal justice process,” said Stacey Dallas Woodard, MPD victim advocate coordinator. “As a law enforcement-based victim services unit, we can make sure victims immediately receive trauma-informed care, safety planning, criminal justice support and other critical services.”
The City of Mobile Public Safety Director Lawrence Battiste and Chief of Police Paul Prine will speak at the event, along with a victim of crime, Nija Hill, whose 16-year-old son was taken by gun violence.
