Domestic Violence Walk/Run

The 3rd annual Domestic Violence Walk/Run at Fairwood Park is a community-focused event hosted by the Prince George’s County Police Department. The event seeks to raise awareness about domestic violence and the resources available to those affected. It typically attracts various participants, including survivors, law enforcement, local leaders, and residents, all united to advocate against domestic violence and support prevention initiatives.

The police department and other local organizations use the event as an opportunity to spread information about domestic violence services, share personal stories of survival, and foster a stronger sense of community engagement to combat rising rates of domestic violence in the area. These efforts align with broader county initiatives aimed at addressing family violence, which saw an increase during the pandemic and remain a significant issue in the community.
