In response to the homicide that occurred Wednesday evening on Fagan Street, the Danville Police Department will hold a Healing after Recent Trauma (H.E.A.R.T.) Walk in the 200 block of Fagan St. today, Oct. 3, at 4 p.m. We will meet at the intersection of Fagan St. and Lindhurst Dr. at 4 p.m. for a briefing.
The goal of a H.E.A.R.T. Walk is to express to the community the police department cares about their well-being. This is not a walk to gather more information. It is a check-in on Danville residents. During the walk, if an individual needs counseling or any additional resource or service, they will be connected to the proper organization for further assistance.
Additionally, this walk allows police officers to provide the neighbors with accurate facts on the incident. The police department feels these walks make neighbors feel safe, validated, and heard. These walks are scheduled each time there is a major occurrence in the city.
