The public is asked to please join with us again at the Dickinson County Sheriff’s Department as we make our way through town honking horns and blaring sirens. The participants are asked to gather at 11:45 a.m., the procession will begin at 12 noon. A “Break the Silence” procession will take place Tuesday in Iron Mountain with squad cars, fire engines, ambulances and citizens driving from the Dickinson County Sheriff’s Office to First Presbyterian Church in Kingsford with sirens blaring and horns sounding. The annual event aims to shine a light on domestic violence. Domestic violence thrives in silence, but voices have power. Help break the silence. Some believe that domestic violence does not happen here in our rural hometown. However, the truth is that annually, Caring House provides services to more than 500 individuals, assistance to 1,400 crisis calls, and nearly 2,000 bed-nights.

“Please join our community as we come together to demonstrate our support for victims of domestic violence and let families know they are not alone”
