It is hard to know what to<br />
do? What happens in their<br />
relationship is their business,<br />
right? Will I be meddling if I say<br />
anything or call for help?<br />
So often the victims of domestic violence, including children,<br />
are silenced <strong>and</strong> they do need your help. You could be the<br />
person that makes the difference <strong>and</strong> stop the cycle of abuse.<br />
This November’s Family Violence Prevention Month campaign<br />
encourages Albertans to call the Family Violence Info Line at<br />
(403) 310-1818 <strong>and</strong> help those affected by family violence. The<br />
24-hour line is toll-free, available in 170 languages <strong>and</strong> available<br />
seven days a week.<br />
Let’s encourage a community st<strong>and</strong>ard in which family violence<br />
<strong>and</strong> bullying are wrong. Learn more about abuse, what can<br />
you do, warning signs, <strong>and</strong> where to get help. Information &<br />
resources can be found at www.familyviolence.alberta.ca<br />
How to Report to the Police<br />
• Family violence can be very dangerous situations.<br />
Call the police. Do not engage in the situation.<br />
• Family violence comes in many forms. It is very<br />
important if you suspect someone is in need of help<br />
to report it to the police. Even reporting at a later<br />
date, after the incident, what you know or suspect<br />
is beneficial. Never underestimate the value of your<br />
information.<br />
Depending on the urgency, choose the method that best suits<br />
the situation:<br />
• 911 - Emergencies or crimes in progress<br />
• (403) 266-1234 - All other crimes must be reported by<br />
calling the non-emergency line at (403)266-1234.<br />
The <strong>Calgary</strong> Police Service encourages<br />
Calgarians to report all crimes.<br />
You must be the change you wish to see in the world.<br />
