LAVA Community Support Event Goes Virtual
LAVA News:
In order to ensure that the community can safely show support for victims, the Los Alamos Police Department’s Victim Assistant (LAVA) National Crime Victims’ Rights Week (NCVRW) Community Support Walk will be a virtual event.
There will not be an in-person event.
At the Turquoise Level, an event can be held with a mass gathering limit of 150 persons, or 200 vehicles. The safest way to ensure that these limits are not exceeded is to provide t-shirts to individuals and individual families at a scheduled time and host a virtual event, rather than in-person.
