Support for Victims: Advocates at Crime Scenes
A new pilot program will allow organizations to help victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking directly at the scene, working with police. This aims to provide faster support and assistance during difficult times.
Key points
Organizations assisting victims can send their representatives to the scene of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking incidents.
Victim advocates will arrive after the scene is secured by police and will remain while an officer is present.
Victims will have confidentiality for communications with advocates.
The program is set to last 3 years, with potential expansion if it proves effective in reducing homicides and repeat violence calls.
