The Central Bucks Regional Police Victim Services unit is working with Central Bucks Regional Police, Plumstead Township Police and Buckingham Township Policeasking for support for its efforts to educate the community and to work collaboratively in making Victim Awareness Week a visual awakening throughout their communities.
Victim Awareness Week is April 18-24.
During Covid, when social distancing is mandated and extra precautions are necessary, it would be easiest for all citizens, businesses and community resources to show the colors of purple, pink and yellow (the palette of colors this year). This gesture is an act that all victims and our fellow human beings are deserving and in need of, more so now than ever.
We ask residents and businesses to send photos to police@cbrpd.net display on social media. The photos can show purple, pink and yellow creations or simply decorating for friends, neighbors, pedestrians and others to see.
“Can you envision the concept of driving through our communities and seeing potted plants, spring flowers, decorative yard displays, balloon bouquets and gateway highlights that you come up with to give this week the visual public relations we are trying to share?” Karen Edwards, a vitim serices specialist, asked.
“Hope we can count on you to put this poster in your store front window so this a successful Awareness to all.”
Businesses such as garden centers, grocery stores (floral departments), florists, funeral homes, doctor’s offices and many others could make that added display for those that drive by, shop in or otherwise see in passing by and make a significant statement by that participation. Knowing we are a community of one and sharing our symbolization of support for all to participate and share in is a gift that costs nothing more than creativity and ingenuity for our communities to be proud of.
