Crime Victim services extends its deepest gratitude to two long-time Board members, Tracey Regula and 'Andrea King, as they conclude their service.

For 9 years, their tenure on the Board has been marked by active involvement and strong investment. They've advanced agency goals and enhanced practices through revisions of bylaws, policies and procedures, financial oversight, and strategic planning.

They have inspired others through their service, and their membership on the Board of Directors will be greatly missed. As they step away from formal involvement, we know their support for our mission remains strong and we are so grateful.

Hats off to the Ohio Youth-led Collective for an incredible day organized by and for Ohio’s youth advocates!

Two of our Teen Ambassadors represented Allen County at the youth-led event, networking with other youth preventionists and learning about the importance of policy advocacy.

The day ended with a walk to the Statehouse and an inspiring round of speeches on the Statehouse steps.

We would like to express our continued gratitude to Bob Johns Memorials for their generous support of our Homicide Memorial Garden.

For decades, they have donated engraved bricks honoring victims, helping us recognize and remember those who have lost their lives.

Each year, these bricks are placed in the garden, creating a lasting space for reflection and remembrance for families and the community.

Today, we had the privilege of talking with Mrs. Elwer’s English classes about the scope of human trafficking, both globally and locally.

The sophomore students read the book Sold, by Patricia McCormick, and had many thoughtful questions about what happens to traffickers who are caught, wha recovery for survivors looks like, and how they can play a role in preventing trafficking.

Thank you Delphos St John’s for sharing your classroom with us today!
