Members of the Victim Specialist Unit of the Central Bucks Regional, Plumstead and Buckingham police departments, are asking the community to show its colors during Victim Awareness Week, April 18-24.
Area residents and businesses are asked to “coloring the community” in pink, purple and yellow to demonstrate their support. Garden centers, grocery store floral departments, florists, funeral homes and doctor’s offices in particular are asked to create displays in those hues. Knowing we are a community of ONE and sharing out symbolization of support for all to participate and share in is a gift that costs nothing more than creativity and ingenuity for our communities to be proud of a visual event to signal support of color to the cause, organizers said.

A former Warminster police officer is accused of sexually abusing four teenage boys while working as a D.A.R.E officer 20 years ago, but authorities say they fear there could be additional potential victims.
James Christopher Carey, 52, was arraigned before District Judge Maggie Snow on 122 counts of child sexual assault related charges Wednesday.
Bail was set at 10% of $100,000, which he posted, according to the DA s office.
Carey, now of Cape May Court House, New Jersey, did not comment to reporters as he left his arraignment in handcuffs, but his attorney Michael Applebaum maintained his client is innocent.
Bucks County District Attorney Matt Weintraub said during a news conference that the abuse happened while Carey was an officer with Warminster.
