Halifax County Crime Stoppers will hold its second annual March for Awareness and Unity event on Saturday, March 25 at 10 a.m. 

The event will be held at Centennial Park located at 600 Roanoke Avenue in Roanoke Rapids.

The purpose of the march is:

To bring awareness to the primary purpose of the Halifax County Crime Stoppers, which is to help stop crime by providing an anonymous communication link with local law enforcement agencies and offering rewards in return for needed clues and information necessary for law enforcement agencies to solve major crimes.

To bring awareness to any unsolved crimes wherein recognition may lead to providing law enforcement with information that may lead to resolution of their investigation.

To reaffirm to the families and friends of the victims of those crimes, that their loved ones are not forgotten.

To serve as an opportunity to establish a better relationship between law enforcement and the public in which they serve.

The campaign will also:

Allow each participating law enforcement agency to provide a brief overview of any of their missing person cases or unsolved major crimes.

Allow a family member to make a request to the community to provide any information.

Allow the public to join the board of directors, law enforcement officers, religious leaders, community leaders, and family and friends of the victims in walking the track to bring awareness to the need for information.
