SUGAR GROVE – Fox Valley Court Watch will host a free training event from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Jan. 30 at the Sugar Grove Public Library, 125 S. Municipal Drive, Sugar Grove.

James Kintz of St. Charles, who helped organize those in the Fox Valley Court Watch program in 2010, said the group choose the location to make it easier for potential volunteers in southern Kane County and Kendall County to get involved.

Those in the Fox Valley Court Watch program provide an impartial assessment of the effectiveness of the way domestic violence cases are handled in court, thereby promoting victim safety and abuser accountability, according to the group’s mission statement.
