13 FAMILY VIOLENCE AWARENESS MESSAGE FROM THE SUMMERSIDE DEPUTY CHIEF OF POLICE Summerside Police Services are pleased to pledge its continued support for the Prince Edward Island Police Association and its Annual Crime Prevention Guide, now in its thirtyfifth year. The work of the PEIPA, its members and executive, has had positive and farreaching impacts across Prince Edward Island and this year’s guide focusing on Family Violence Awareness will be no exception. The impacts of family violence are devastating and life changing. Whether it be physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, financial abuse or neglect, family violence occurs in all demographics of our population. You may know someone who is experiencing family violence if they: have unexplained injuries or are frequently absent from work or school, withdraw from social activities, or experience sudden changes in behavior. You can support victims by listening and offering help to access resources. Summerside Police Services pledges to continue to work collectively with our community partners to bring awareness and attention to this issue and to eliminate this type of behavior. Jason R. Blacquiere Chief of Police Summerside Police Services
