💜 **OCTOBER IS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH** 💜

The Maplewood Police Department stands together with survivors and advocates in raising awareness about domestic violence.

Domestic violence can affect anyone, regardless of age, background, or circumstance. **No one should have to live in fear, control, or silence.**

This month, we encourage our community to:
💜 Raise awareness
💜 Support survivors
💜 Build safer communities
💜 Speak up and help end domestic violence

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, help is available through the **National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-SAFE (7233)** or **[www.thehotline.org](http://www.thehotline.org)**.

🚨 **For emergencies, please call 911.**

**There is strength in speaking up. There is hope beyond abuse.**

I am truly honored to be featured and to have the opportunity to speak alongside Chief Thomas-Jenkins for an important discussion, **“Her Watch — Strength, Service and Equity in Policing.”**

This conversation is about more than women in public safety—it is about creating spaces where women feel **safe, seen, heard, and empowered to lead.**

As women continue to make meaningful contributions to the field of law enforcement and public safety, it is our responsibility to support one another, open doors, mentor the next generation, and ensure that every woman has the opportunity to lead with confidence and purpose.

I am proud to be part of this conversation and grateful for the opportunity to share, learn, and continue building a stronger future for women in public safety.

**Our watch. Our voice. Our leadership.**
— Chief Niheema Malloy

Sharing knowledge and educating the next generation of law enforcement professionals is an important part of strengthening our profession. Officer Crayton’s commitment to education reflects the importance of understanding the law, protecting constitutional rights, and serving our communities with professionalism and integrity.
We are proud to see our officers representing Maplewood and sharing their expertise beyond our community. 👮🏽‍♂️📚
