Proclamation <br />DESIGNATING APRIL 23-29, 2023, AS <br />CRIME VICTIMS' RIGHTS WEEK IN INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />-Whereas, since 1981, National Crime Victims' Rights Week has challenged us to confront <br />barriers to achieving justice for all victims while still reflecting on how far we have come; and <br />-Whereas, millions of people every year in the United States are victims of crime, including <br />terrible acts of violence, loss or damage of personal property, and financial exploitation, and these <br />citizens may lose a sense of trust and safety that can never be fully recovered; and <br />-Whereas, persistent barriers prevent many victims from obtaining the support and services <br />they need and the justice they deserve, with fewer than half of violent crimes ever being reported; and <br />-Whereas, local community initiatives, especially those that build trust with law enforcement, <br />are key to preventing violence; and <br />-Whereas, it is essential to improve access to services and safety for our historically <br />marginalized and under -served communities, combat the surge in anti -Asian harassment and other <br />hate crimes, and reduce gun violence and its impacts on victims, families, and first responders; and <br />Whereas, every crime victim deserves justice and assurance that their safety and welfare will <br />be protected, and by being united for victims' rights and services, we gain strength as a community <br />and offer tangible support to victims who seek to recover in the aftermath of crime. <br />Naw, 9 -herefore, be it Proclaimed by the Board of County Commissioners of <br />lr&an River County, Florida, that April 23-29, 2023 is designated as Crime Victims' Rights <br />Week in Indian River County, and the Board calls upon all citizens to participate in events that raise <br />awareness of victims' rights and to reach out to serve victims in need. <br />Adopted this 18th day of April, 2023. BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA <br />Joseph H. Earman, Chairman <br />Susan Adams, Vice Chairman <br />Joseph E. Flescher <br />Deryl Loar <br />Laura Moss <br />2 <br />
