In recognition of Denim Day and to bring awareness to Sexual Assault, members of the Elon Police Department and Town of Elon staff were encouraged to participate in Denim Day. Denim Day is an annual international campaign held on the last Wednesday in April (Sexual Assault Awareness Month) where people wear jeans to protest victim-blaming in sexual violence cases. Started by Peace Over Violence in 1999, it originated from a 1990s Italian Supreme Court ruling that overturned a r**e conviction because the victim wore tight jeans, implying consent. Thanks to all our staff that ventured out of their comfort zone to sport their favorite denim jeans! Thank you MPO Pyron for spearheading this intiative.

There is currently large police and fire presence at the Elon Elementary school due to an isolated incident. A small fire was ignited in a restroom on campus and an investigation has ensued. No one was injured and the fire was contained and extinguished quickly with minimal damage. The car rider pick has resumed, but we wanted to keep those who may be concerned informed and reassure all there is not ongoing public safety threat.
