BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Earlier this week members of the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office, Brevard County Fire Rescue, and Rockwell Collins competed against each other for the 4th year in the “What A Girl Wants Fashion Show to help raise awareness in the fight against Domestic Violence.

Following a performance by members from Rockwell Collins the Firefighters and Deputies took to the stage to battle it out for the Public Safety Fashion Show Championship.

While the competition was fierce and fun to watch, the true reason everyone attended was to partner together to help stop Domestic Violence in our community.

I would like to personally thank Timmy Vee for providing the music for the event, Lt. Tom Niedert and all the men from BCFR that took part in the Fashion Show, our awesome Deputy Sheriffs who volunteered to be a part of the event and Serene Harbor and their many volunteers who work everyday to help stop Domestic Violence in our community.
