Police Department

Victim's Advocate

The Delta Police Department understands that crime is unpredictable and everyone is a potential victim regardless of ethnicity, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, financial or community standing. Being a victim is always a traumatic experience, and the victim often feels “lost” in the system. Our Victim Advocate Unit is designed to assist the victim, witnesses and their family and friends who have experienced a traumatic incident from the moment it is reported until it is through the judicial system, offering the victim emotional support and information to move from being a victim of crime to a survivor.

We believe in the Victims Bill of Rights and are committed to providing assistance to those victims. The program has staff and volunteers who are trained to listen, offer support and give victims the information and/or referrals they need. This also includes crime victims compensation that will assist with expenses and therapy.

Your Rights include the following:

Assistance with Obtaining Public Records including Law Enforcement Reports

Information about Restraining Orders, Protective Order/Other Support Services

Advocacy with Creditors, Landlords and Employers

Special Services for Juveniles, Elderly, Children and Disable Victims
