Plymouth State
University Police Special Investigations & Victim Services
What is the Special
Investigations and Victim Services Program?
The Special Investigations and Victim Services program was designed to
assist women who have been victims of violent crime.
The special investigations office employs a
dual-trained official who has specialized in victim advocacy and law
enforcement. The main objective of this specialized position is to
assist victim’s through the criminal justice process providing
referrals to community agencies, and information to victim’s during
their difficult time.
By assisting victims in this way the bond
between victim, justice system, and the community is strengthened.
Victim’s who feel supported, informed, and part of the process make
better witnesses. This ensures prosecution can present the strongest
case possible. With this closure victims often are made to feel
whole sooner and recover from the personal tragedy faster.
While being responsive to victims
after the crime is important. Understanding that the best way
to help a victim
is by preventing them from being one is key. So the other major
effort of this program is extensive outreach and education
programming. These efforts are collaborated with the S.A.G.E
Center to
promote a well rounded community response to violent crime.
