Savage PD Raises $1,000 for Domestic Violence

On January 13th, 2020, the Savage Police Department presented Christie Larson, Executive Director for Southern Valley Alliance, with a check for $1,000. Last October (2019), Savage Police helped raise awareness for domestic violence by selling purple patches. The Savage Crime Prevention Association purchased 100 patches that sold for a suggested donation of $10 each. 100% of the proceeds went to the local domestic violence agency, Southern Valley Alliance, that works to end domestic abuse in Scott and Carver counties.

Most domestic violence incidents are never reported and one in four women and one in seven men will experience domestic violence in their lifetime. those at greatest risk are women between the ages of 18 and 34. (source: www.thehotline.org/resources/statistics/)
