 Over the past week, victims of crime and their families were honored as part of National Crime Victims Awareness Week. A small group gathered tonight at Paul Bunyan Park in Bemidji to mark the occasion. The Beltrami County Sheriff's Office, Bemidji Police and Ambulance were all present to show support and provide people a chance to connect one-on-one with them. But due to the cold and wintery conditions, tonight's ceremony had to be postponed until a later date. We were going to have the emergency management vehicles here. We were going to have kids' corners so that the kids can play and see the squad cars and really have a community family event. We were going to have a press conference from area officials talking about how crime impacts the community. And we had Red Lake Law Enforcement and Leech Lake Law Enforcement as well, so we're really expanding that circle and reaching all victims. The public event has been rescheduled for 7 p.m. Friday, April 27th at Paul Bunyan Park.
