For about nine years now the Mission Police Department has offered support to crime victims during National Crime Victims’ Rights Week with a ceremony dedicated to them.
City leaders and first responders were among the many who gathered during the Thursday event to show their support for victims of crimes ranging from theft to homicide.
Mission police Chief Robert Dominguez says [the department] averages about 34,000 crime victim cases per year. Around 300 of them result in deaths.
"There are a lot of families who unfortunately have lost somebody," Dominguez said.
