What is victim services?

Victim Services is an organization that provides free support, information and resources to victims of crime and trauma when they need it most. Whether it is a sudden death or a crisis, victim services units have staff and volunteers ready to help you navigate the next steps following any incident!

Our main office is located at the Leduc RCMP detachment, but we are often working out of our other detachments so as to meet you wherever is convenient. We know it takes a lot of courage to ask for help, so we will do what we can to make this process easier for you. We serve victims of all ages and backgrounds located in our service area to ensure you receive the help you need.

What do we offer?

  • Information about resources in your community
  • Updates on police files and the court process
  • Information about your rights as a victim of crime
  • Court prep and support should you have to testify
  • Attend callouts with the police to provide immediate support and resources

Our Mission.

Provide a highly skilled, compassionate level of service to any victim of crime or tragedy, through our dedicated and trained staff and volunteers.

Our Victim Service Unit is a policed based, non-profit, charitable society that works in partnership with the Leduc, Beaumont, Devon, Edmonton Int'l Airport, Thorsby & Breton RCMP detachments to provide Support, Information and Referrals to persons in Leduc County & Breton during their time of crisis, trauma or tragedy whether it is as a victim of a crime, sudden death or crisis.

Goals of the RCMP victim services program.

Lessen the immediate impact of a crime on a victim. This can be done by alleviating stress on that victim by providing support, information, and referrals in time of crisis.

Help victims cope with the effects of crime by providing information on the following: their police file status, the court process and case disposition, Victim Impact Statements, police procedures, community resources, compensation application procedures (Restitution), and whatever else may be of help.

Focus on the prevention of further victimization through education of crime prevention techniques and provide encouragement to the victim.

To promote a positive liaison between the Police, the Court System and the Victim so that a better flow of information and support is created.

Provide ongoing public awareness through the promotion of existing programs.

To provide well trained volunteers who are able to maintain the integrity of and ensure confidentiality for all contacts with police, victims and the public at large.
