Yuma County BIWP Task Force

About

The Yuma County BIWP Task Force is combined with the Yuma County Domestic Violence Task Force, and meets the second Tuesday of each month at 1:00-2:00 PM at Yuma Police Department (always the same day/time/place).

April was Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM). If you are a part of the criminal justice response system you may want to check out the Start By Believing Campaign to learn more about how your response can make a significant impact on victims who reach out for help.

For information about how to promote or participate in SAAM visit the National Sexual Violence Resource Center’s SAAM Page.
