Southern Nevada Domestic Violence Task Force

Our Domestic Violence Memorial Plaques were concieved as a memorial to those who died at the hands of their abuser, and as a community awareness project.

These beautiful brass and marble plaques are available for the lobby of your agency or business, facility or hospital. It is a powerful reminder that domestic violence is not a private or a family matter. To arrange to host these plaques, please call (702) 225-4113.

The task force was formed in June 1990 by the Honorable Terrance Marren, Eighth Judicial District Court Judge. The purpose of the task force is to reduce and prevent domestic violence in Clark County:

• by providing a working forum for interdepartmental information sharing and interaction of agencies dealing with domestic violence victims and perpetrators;
• by identifiying and analyzing the components of current responses to domestic violence and make recommendations;
• to serve as a conduit to local news media for information compiled by task force members to facilitate change by sponsoring education and media campaigns on domestic violence issues;
• to establish a permanent Domestic Violence Council to conduct any other business permitted by law.
