Victim Witness Services
What We Do
Should the unfortunate ever happen, it's reassuring to know that there are caring
people who are available to help those in our community that are impacted by crime.
Victim Witness Services provides direct assistance, support, information and referral
services 24 hours a day. These services are provided free of charge to the victims
and witnesses of any type of crime or trauma - such as assault, sudden death, robbery,
fraud and physical violence.
Located in the Kelowna Detachment of the RCMP on Doyle Avenue and the Lake Country
RCMP satellite detachment, three staff and trained volunteers provide a variety
of services such as information on police and court procedures, crisis intervention,
and emotional support. The program is funded jointly by the Regional District, the
Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General and in-kind donations from the Kelowna
RCMP.
