April 16, 2020 – Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and in an effort to follow Yolo County’s current shelter-in-place order, the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office has canceled the 14th Annual Crime Victims’ Tribute Ceremony. The event was scheduled to take place on Monday, April 20, 2020, at the Woodland Opera House.
This annual event is an opportunity for community members to recognize the impact crime has on its victims and the community at large. It is a tribute to the resilience and courage that survivors of crime show in the face of adversity, and an acknowledgment of their rights. It is unfortunate that we are unable to publicly honor our survivors of crime. They were, however, honored at the April 7th Yolo County Board of Supervisors Meeting, with the “virtual” presentation of a resolution proclaiming National Crime Victims’ Rights Week, April 19 – 25, 2020.
