- 04/17/26
DALLAS (OR) – National Crime Victims’ Rights Week is April 19th - April 25th. This week is a time to honor crime victims and survivors, and the professionals who provide critical services to victims of crime.
The Polk County District Attorney’s Office seeks to create community awareness to show the impact that crime has had on victims in Polk County with its flag display. The display of flags recognizes the victims of crime, their families, and the many others in the system that seek justice on behalf of victims.
A tradition established by the Victim Assistance Program through the Polk County DA’s Office is creating a visual display of flags during Crime Victims' Rights Week on the Courthouse lawn. The display represents the number of crime victims served by our program in 2025. Today, members of the DA’s Office placed over 2,000 flags on the lawn.
The individual numbers for each category are as follows.
DUII (Orange Flags) - 84
Property Crimes (Green and Yellow) - 772
Sexual Assault (Pink) - 44
Domestic Violence (Purple) - 277
Person Crimes (Red) - 731
Child Abuse (Blue) - 187
Survivors of Homicide Victims (White) - 17
Total: 2,112
The display will run through April 24.
