Family Crisis Services, a non-profit organization that works towards ending abuse in Cumberland and Sagadahoc Counties, Maine, has received a $47,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Violence Against Women that has enabled them to hire a domestic violence advocate who will respond with police officers to domestic violence calls in rural parts of the region.
