The Glendale Police Department wants to remind the public that October is Domestic Violence Awareness month.

“Domestic violence affects people from all walks of life and of every age and demographic,” the department said in a press release. “It includes physical, emotional and psychological abuse.”

The Glendale Family Advocacy Center offers numerous resources for victims of domestic violence. People who are involved in or know of someone involved in a violent relationship are urged to seek help by calling 623-930-3720 or visiting the center’s website.

The Glendale City Hall will be lit purple for the entire month to raise awareness.
