Police to Sponsor 3rd Annual K-9 Krawl 5K
In honor of National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Fairfax County Police Department’s Victim Services Section is again sponsoring a K-9 Krawl; a 5K walk created for you and your dog. The Krawl is designed to heighten public awareness regarding the connection between domestic violence and cruelty to animals. The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV) emphasizes that pets are not immune from domestic violence as batterers often threaten, injure, maim, or kill their partners’ pets for the purpose of revenge or control within relationships.
Plan to bring your canine, or for that matter borrow one from a friend, and join the Fairfax County Police Department, McGruff, the Crime Dog, Gracie, a Fairfax County Police Bomb Dog, and a Fairfax County Police Bloodhound, for this FREE event that includes goodie bags and domestic violence resource tables.
WHEN: Sunday, October 25; check-in at 8:30 a.m., walk at 9 a.m.
WHERE: Fairfax County Government Center (parking lot C)
12000 Government Center Parkway, Fairfax, Virginia
For more information about the walk or to register, please call the K-9 Krawl information line at 703-814-7009. For inquiries from the media, call Carroll Ann Ellis, Director of Victim Services, at 703-246-2141.
