National Crime Victims Rights Week!
Today kicks off National Crime Victims Rights Week and we’d like to thank Alleghany County and the City of Covington for proclaiming it!
This year’s theme, Connecting Healing is a call to action to recognize that shared humanity should be the center of supporting all survivors and victims of crime.
