"We don't get a lot of these types of calls but the ones we do get are often very serious," Foster said. "So we support anything that will help combat domestic violence.

Richardson issued a proclamation on Sept. 30 declaring October Domestic Violence Awareness Month and announced new initiatives to kickoff the month.

In a news release, Richardson discussed the executive order and also said new domestic violence Public Service Announcements featuring his wife, First Lady Barbara Richardson, will run throughout October.

“Domestic violence affects all New Mexicans, and its damage is inflicted not only upon victims, but their children, families, communities and employers,” he said in a news release.
