Law enforcement awards

The Greene County Domestic and Sexual Violence Consortium will honor those involved in law enforcement response to domestic violence calls and have demonstrated exceptional services and or support to victims of domestic violence and their children.

The annual Law Enforcement Awards Ceremony will be held noon Wednesday in the Media Room at Department of Job and Family Services located at 541 Ledbetter Road in Xenia.

Each October, which is nationally recognized as Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the Consortium accepts nominations of those involved in law enforcement response to domestic violence from service providers in Greene County. From these nominations come the award winners.
