"Strength doesn't come from what you can do. It comes from OVERCOMING the things you once thought you COULDN'T." - Rikki Rogers
The Victim Services Branch (VSB) is committed to assisting victims and survivors throughout the duration of the offender's incarceration and supervision. We ensure that crime victims are treated with dignity and respect. A victim's need for assistance does not stop once an offender has been sentenced. In fact, it continues throughout an offender's incarceration and supervision.
If you are a victim of a crime, please contact our office to ensure you are registered for assistance.
