Cheshire Police support Peace One Day

0

POLICE in the UK are playing their part to highlight public protection issues and raise awareness of domestic abuse as part of a global day of action
called Peace One Day, tomorrow Sunday (Sept 21).
So far 18 forces in England and Wales have joined up to take part in the global awareness-raising campaign which takes place on 21 September. It comes as the service nationally reviews training, academic evidence and policing professional practice on investigating domestic abuse.
Cheshire Police will be supporting the initiative by sending out tweets on the day to help raise awareness of Domestic Violence and abuse and encourage people to do their part in order to stop this terrible crime.
Detective Chief Inspector Nigel Wenham, the force lead on Domestic Violence said “Domestic Violence and abuse is a serious crime which has a massive impact on the lives of victims and their families. We work hard to ensure that any cases reported to us are investigated and dealt with appropriately.
Any form of violence or abuse is unacceptable however when it is experienced at the hands of a loved one the hurt caused goes much deeper than physical effects.
No one should find themselves living in fear in their own home and we use all the powers at our disposal to combat this awful crime.
“We work with all our partners across Cheshire to provide support and advice”
More information on domestic abuse and what help is available on the Cheshire Police website at:

If you believe that you or someone you know is at immediate risk of harm from domestic violence always call 999. For a non-emergency call 101.
