Constable 5 Supports Teen Dating Violence Awareness Campaign

October 2, 2006 - Austin, Texas

Constable Bruce Elfant’s office was instrumental in the coordination and unveiling of the new Teen Dating Violence Awareness ads on Capitol Metro buses, and throughout AISD middle and high schools for Domestic Violence Awareness month. The Constable’s office worked hand in hand with the Austin/Travis County Family Violence Task Force and its partners, notably the Women's Advocacy Project and SafePlace in a concerted effort to increase awareness about the very real problem of teen dating violence in our schools and in the community. Capitol Metro generously donated space for the ads on its buses until the end of this year and Applied Mechanical Corp. provided funds for the ad materials and four posters for each middle school and high school in the Austin Independent School District.

The Constable's office is proud to be part of this community effort to prevent all types of domestic violence before it occurs.
