On Friday September 8, 2023, the Roanoke City Sheriff’s Office in conjunction with the Roanoke City Police Department, and in partnership with local pastors and city leaders will come together for the launch of Cease Fire: Victory in Valley. This campaign will focus on ending the gun violence within the city. This call to action asks all community leaders, business owners, and those invested in saving our city, to stand together. The launch will highlight an initial 30-day commitment to end gun violence and detail how every person can get involved. Keeping our communities safe should be a collaborative effort. The community is encouraged to participate in the upcoming launch. While on-site, posters, yard signs, and t-shirts (while supplies last) will be available to help spread the message. The Sheriff’s office will also provide information regarding a large community event scheduled for October 8, 2023. This upcoming event is meant to recognize the efforts of the community and to celebrate National Faith and Blue Weekend.
