Bay County proclaims April 6-12, 2025 National Crime Victims Rights Week
Summary
Bay County commissioners added and approved a proclamation recognizing April 6–12, 2025 as National Crime Victims Rights Week and read the proclamation into the record during the March 25 special meeting.
The Bay County Board of Commissioners voted March 25 to adopt a proclamation recognizing April 6 through April 12, 2025, as National Crime Victims Rights Week in Bay County.
The board added a presentation and moved to read the proclamation into the minutes; the board approved adding the item and later adopted the proclamation. The proclamation text notes that crime "affects individuals, families, and communities in profound and varied ways" and emphasizes "kinship" as a theme for building peer networks and trauma-informed support for survivors.
A representative thanked the board for recognizing the week and for the work of prosecutors' offices and victim advocates. "I just want to say thank you. Thank you for recognizing it ... a lot of times, unfortunately, nowadays, crime victims are kind of forgotten in everything that we're doing," a named speaker said during the presentation.
Ending: The board recorded the proclamation in the meeting minutes; no formal follow-up actions were recorded during the meeting.
