Domestic Violence Awareness Month

The North Charleston Police Department (NCPD) recognizes October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month. This annual observance aims to raise awareness about the devastating effects of domestic violence and to support those affected by it.

Domestic violence is a serious crime that affects individuals from all walks of life, regardless of age, gender, race, or socioeconomic status. It can take many forms, including physical, emotional, and psychological abuse. NCPD is committed to providing support and resources to victims of domestic violence and holding offenders accountable for their actions.

If you or someone you know is a victim of domestic violence, please know that help is available. NCPD encourages you to reach out to our department's victim advocates through CRIMEWATCH or to call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 (SAFE) for confidential support and resources.

Together, we can work towards ensuring North Charleston is a great place to live, work, and play.
