Office hours: 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.; Monday through Thursday.
 
Victim Assistants will meet with victims in their offices to provide assistance or respond to crime scenes when requested.  They also occasionally do home visits with victims who may be homebound.
 
The Victim Services Program provides intervention and critical service referrals to aide victims of violent crime and their children.  This assistance is available to all victims of violent crime, including: 
  • domestic violence
  • homicide
  • aggravated assault
  • child victims
  • rape/sexual assault
  • major fires
  • suicide
  • other crimes
 
The Victim Assistants provide victims with information and assistance in the following ways: 
  • filling out protective orders
  • referrals for counseling
  • information on reparations for medical expenses and loss of wages
  • information on welfare, food stamps, housing, and other social services as needed
  • assistance with shelter referrals and transportation to a shelter when needed
  • information on and support through the criminal justice system and court support
  • assistance in developing a plan of safety
 
Victim Assistants meet regularly with the City Attorneys to provide them with information concerning the victims wishes and the impact the crime has had on the victim’s life for court prosecution purposes.  They also attend court with victims on restitution issues to make sure the victim is compensated by the perpetrator for their losses as appropriate.
 
If you are a victim of crime, the Provo Police Victim Assistants will be happy to meet with you and try to help (with or without making a police report).  If you are a professional agency and need to refer someone to the program staff, please contact Vicky Proctor at 852-6375.
