Our unit of Halifax Regional Police is a police-based victim support unit. The Unit was established in 1996 to provide supportive services to victims of crime, with particular emphasis on victims of domestic violence.

The Unit is comprised of civilian employees and volunteers who work with police members. Once officers have responded to a crime and ensured the physical safety of all involved, Victim Services may be called to assist with non-policing issues such as emotional support and referral information.
