Irvine Police Department Resources
|
|
You may have seen a lot of people wearing denim on April 27. That is because it was Denim Day — a day dedicated to Sexual Assault Awareness Month, where people are encouraged to wear denim to combat victim blaming and educate others about sexual violence.
The Irvine Police Department's Victim Services unit offers specific resources and support services to victims of sexual assault and violence. Visit their website to be connected to a resource guide and services that can help if you are experiencing sexual abuse.
