Greater Victoria Police Victim Services
Crisis Response
At the request of police, our highly trained staff provide immediate on-scene emotional and practical crisis support to victims and witnesses of crime or trauma during office hours. We also provide telephone support after hours to victims and witnesses of crime or trauma at the request of police.
Support and Referral
Our highly knowledgeable staff provide follow-up and ongoing emotional and practical support as well as referrals to a wide range of community and government resources. We can also assist with the completion of forms such as a Crime Victim Assistance Program application and registration with the Victim Safety Unit. We work closely with community-based victim services programs, making referrals to the Spousal Assault Victim Support Program, Regional Domestic Violence Unit, Vancouver Island Men’s Trauma Counselling Society, Victoria Child Abuse Prevention & Counselling Centre and Victoria Sexual Assault Centre. Please note that we are not a counselling service, but we can help you navigate available resources that meet your needs.
