Victim Assistance Unit

The Victim Assistance Unit offers support and information to individuals affected by crime or a traumatic event. The Coordinator is a civilian employee of the Windsor Police Service (WPS) and acts as a liaison between officers and citizens. Assistance provided may include information on the report process, emotional support, explaining the criminal justice process or the impact of victimization. The Coordinator is a point of contact for those looking for information or referrals to community organizations to aid in the recovery process. 

Locally, in addition to the WPS Victim Assistance Unit, the community-based program Victim Services of Windsor & Essex County, assists responding officers 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Whether these programs are housed in the community or police-based, they offer information and guidance to victims of crime, witnesses, and their family members.
