Victims Services

Victim Assistance Program

The Victim Assistance Program is dedicated to providing help to citizens who have been victimized or otherwise traumatized within our community.

Our Mission

The Victim Assistance Program has a two-fold mission. First, and foremost, it provides support to the victims and their families during the chaos following a traumatic event. Secondly, members assist with the emotional needs of the victim and family so that our police officers are free to perform their duties.

If victim assistance is needed, please call dispatch at 303-759-1511 or the VA Unit at 303-639-4326.
