The
domestic violence shelter and resource center for Randolph, along with the
Quincy Police Department and Randolph Police Department applied for and
received a grant from the U.S. Department of Justice of Violence Against
Women. The grant provides funding for a full time victim advocate hired by
DOVE. The advocate will split her time assisting victims/witnesses of of
domestic violence in both communities and work out of the Police
Department. She will assist named victims and witnesses in navigating the
criminal justice system, knowing one's rights as a named victim/witness,
accessing case status information and referrals to DOVE and other outside
providers of victim/witness services. This is a one (1) year grant that
will hopefully be renewed annually.
DOVE, Inc. is committed to serving communities,
families and individuals impacted by domestic violence.
We seek to empower our clients and the community by
providing safety, shelter, education and support services.
By promoting an environment free from abuse, we strive to see Domestic
Violence Ended.

This January marks
the fifth annual observance of National Stalking Awareness Month (NSAM),
started in 2004 by the National Center for Victims of Crime. Since its
inception, NSAM has become a unifying force for victim service providers
across the country to raise awareness about the serious and deadly crime
that victimizes more than one million women and nearly 400,000 men in
America each year.
We encourage you to join us this year and help make the 5th
National Stalking Awareness Month the best yet. Get involved by distributing
materials, working with public officials on proclamations, holding events or
trainings, contacting local media, and organizing or participating in other
local activities that raise awareness of this terrible crime.
