“By bringing together partners across law enforcement, service providers, and advocacy groups, we are creating a stronger safety net for survivors and their families,” said Lucas Frerichs, Yolo County Board of Supervisors.

“Survivors deserve to be heard, believed, and supported. Our office is committed to seeking justice and ensuring that resources are accessible to those who need them most,” said Jeff Reisig, Yolo County District Attorney.
