At their Tuesday, Oct. 9th meeting, County Supervisors recognized October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Supervisors urge residents to participate in efforts to stop domestic violence in our homes, schools, and in our community. About 40 percent of California women experience physical intimate partner violence in their lifetimes. In 2017 state law enforcement agencies received 169,362 domestic violence-related calls and had 90 domestic violence deaths, 80 were females and 10 were males.
