During the month of April, police cruisers in Sioux Falls will have a different look about them. All this month, law enforcement vehicles in the Sioux Empire will be displaying a teal ribbon to help create awareness for Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
Dakota News Now reports, the special awareness program is a partnership between the Sioux Falls law enforcement community and the Minnehaha County Family Violence Council.
The teal ribbons were placed on Sioux Falls police cars on Friday (April 9) and will remain prominently displayed on squad cars throughout the entire month of April.
