On Monday, the Caldwell Police Department revealed a Purple Ribbon car intended to raise awareness for those suffering from family violence, just as Domestic Violence Awareness Month comes to a close.
The car joins two other specialty cars in the Caldwell Police fleet — a Pink Ribbon Breast Cancer Awareness car and a College of Idaho car.
The Idaho Press reports, the new police car, designed and created by The Sign Shoppe in Caldwell, includes phone numbers from the Advocates Against Family Violence for people to contact when suffering from violence in their homes.
Kim Deugan, Executive Director for Advocates Against Family Violence told the Idaho Press, one in four women and one in seven men will be victims of abuse at some point in their life.
