Office of the Johnson County, Iowa Attorney

10/02/2026

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a cause that's close to our hearts. We joined with Domestic Violence Intervention Program to speak at the Domestic Violence Awareness Month proclamation this week in Johnson County. Our office prosecuted almost 300 domestic violence cases last year, which totaled about one third of all of our assault cases. Community partners like DVIP/RVAP are an essential part of serving victims of crime and assisting them through the courts and justice system. We're proud of the resource network that everyone in Johnson County has worked to build for our community.

If you or someone you know needs help, contact the Domestic Violence Intervention Program at 800-228-1625 or visit www.dvipiowa.org

We'd like to thank the for inviting us to be part of their Su***de Prevention & Wellness Resource Fair last week.

When someone becomes a victim or witness to a crime, the legal process is only one part of the journey. Healing, stability, and support matter just as much, and no single office can provide all of that alone. We're proud to partner with so many local organizations who offer mental health care, advocacy, and support services to victims, witnesses, and their families.

This support extends to every member of our community, including our service members, veterans, and military families, who give so much and deserve care that understands their unique experiences. Together, we're building a network our community can count on.

If you or someone you know needs support, you can call or text 988, or call CommUnity Crisis Services Mobile Response Unit at
1-855-581-8111 and ask to have a mobile crisis response dispatched in Johnson County.

25 years ago today, our nation watched heroes run toward danger while others ran away. The firefighters, police officers, paramedics, and everyday citizens who answered the call on September 11, 2001 embodied a courage we hope never to take for granted.

Our office works alongside first responders every day - in courtrooms, at crime scenes, and in the quiet moments after the incidents that reach every member of our community. That partnership has given us a front-row seat to their sacrifice, dedication, and commitment to public safety.

Today we honor the nearly 3,000 lives lost on 9/11, including firefighters, law enforcement officers, and paramedics who gave everything. We remember the families who feel the loss every day. And we thank the first responders who continue, a quarter century later, to serve our communities with the same bravery.

We will never forget. 🇺🇸

9/8 is 988 Day - a day of action to raise awareness about the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. You don’t have to be in crisis to reach out to 988. Whatever you’re facing, big or small, your reason for seeking support is reason enough.
