Redondo Beach to hold vigil for domestic violence victims
The vigil at 6 p.m. at the Redondo Beach Civic Center, 415 Diamond St. will honor survivors of domestic violence, educate the community about domestic violence and send the message that it will not be tolerated.
Redondo Beach police started the advocacy team in 1996 with a grant from the Beach Cities Health District.
The team has 27 volunteer members who respond 24 hours a day to assist victims. The volunteers contact more than 125 victims annually.
For more information contact Officer Ian Miesen at ian.miesen@redondo.org or 310-379-2477, ext. 1-2493.
Parking for the vigil is available in the main library's underground lot.

Larry Altman has covered crime in the South Bay since 1990. He's seen it all - the missing model who turned up dead in the desert, the wives found dead in trunks, the high-school coaches who get a little too close to their players. He drives his young colleagues nuts with his "I remember when" stories. He welcomes your tips and observations about the present, and you can mix in a little Lakers basketball talk if you like.
