Today, our office proudly wore purple in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Together, we stand with survivors and reaffirm our commitment to seeking justice and raising awareness.

Our Domestic Violence Unit and Victim Witness Coordinators work every day to support victims, hold offenders accountable, and provide the resources needed to help families find safety and healing.

As Domestic Violence Awareness Month closes, we encourage our community to take steps toward prevention:

Learn the warning signs of abuse.

Check in on friends, family, and neighbors.

Share resources and information that can help those in need.

Speak up—silence allows abuse to continue.

As we close out Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Shelby County District Attorney’s Office would like to recognize and honor those affected by breast cancer, as well as those we have lost to the battle.

Our team proudly wore pink in support of breast cancer awareness and to stand with survivors, fighters, and families impacted by this disease.

Early detection saves lives. We encourage everyone to take proactive steps toward prevention—schedule regular screenings, perform self-exams, and talk with your healthcare provider about your risk factors. Together, we can continue raising awareness, supporting survivors, and working toward a future free from breast cancer.
