CHILLIWACK — Domestic violence is more prevalent in Chilliwack than residents might imagine.
In what can easily be considered a disturbingly high number, the Upper Fraser Valley Regional Detachment in Chilliwack reported on Twitter Friday (Oct. 21) that there have been 925 reported files of domestic violence in UFVRD this year.
“[Domestic violence] is a crime not often reported to police,” Corporal Carmen Kiener said. “If you or someone you know is experiencing intimate partner violence, there is help.”
In recognition of Purple Light Nights during the month of October, the RCMP aims to bring awareness to the public about domestic violence, the signs that yourself or someone you love might be in danger, and how to help.
