Safe Shelter of St Vrain and Longmont Police

Our morning was spent at the Safe Shelter of St. Vrain. We were envious of the amazing facility and very impressed with their programmes. What a great start to our trip. We had wonderful discussion and lots of issues in common that we both struggle with, but also differences. We will bring back great ideas. I was impressed with their teen programme in schools that helps young people understand date violence and how to deal with it.

Our afternoon was spent at the Police Department where we learned about their legal system as it relates to Domestic Violence and then from LEVI , Longmont Ending Violence Initiative. Brenda was so excited to be able to hold a police gun and see their vehicles.
