Victim Services is a
police-based, community driven, organization of volunteers who are
trained to provide much needed support to victims in their time of
need.
Victim Service offers
victims one-on-one assistance to help deal with the problems arising
from an incident or situation.
Victim Services
representatives work closely with community agencies to provide an
efficient and comprehensive service to ensure that the needs of each
victim are properly met.
Emergency Response
Personnel may call on the program to provide immediate assistance or
may recommend that the victim call the agency at a later date.
Dufferin Victim Services
offers a 7 day, 24 hours support, general assistance, court
accompaniment and an information and referral program to ensure that
victimized individuals, their families and witnesses receive
"immediate" support subsequent to their involvement following a crime
of violence, aggression, abuse, adversity and disaster. Police based
and volunteer driven, the agency's staff and volunteers provide a
confidential service offering support and assistance thus limiting the
effects of crises and helping victims to quickly return their lives to
a desired degree of stability.
