Sgt. Lisa Dadio Honored for Her Services

On Thursday morning, September 27, 2007 the Greater New Haven Domestic Violence Task Force, of which DVS is a founding member, honored Sgt. Lisa Dadio of the New Haven Police Department for her years of dedicated service to the Department, the Task Force, and the community. 

 

Job Corps members (l to r) Eddie Cardoza, Cory Batiste, and Ashley Dubose with their instructor, James Bailey. 

The Task Force’s new Silent Witness exhibit of figures was unveiled. Each plywood figure – a man, a boy, a girl, a young woman and an elderly woman – represents domestic violence homicide victims in 2004 – a total of 26 individuals.  The exhibit was produced by students at New Haven Job Corps, three of whom attended the meeting at New Haven’s City Hall and briefly discussed how much the project meant to and affected them.
