Prince George RCMP Victim Services are looking to increase their volunteer base with members of the community. 

Victim Services personnel accompany RCMP officers to sometimes devastating, brutal scenes of crime and tragedy. They provide support to survivors and loved ones of murder, sudden death, suicide, assault, sexual assault, and motor vehicle fatalities.

Volunteers attend court with victims, assist with referrals and provide the community with support when it needs it most. 

"We have an amazing, close-knit and dedicated team of volunteers but we are a busy unit and need to make sure we have enough people to respond to the needs of our community," said Krista Levart, Coordinator of the unit. "Volunteers who are accepted into the program are provided with extensive training and a volunteer experience unlike any other." 

An information session is being held at the Prince George detachment on April 17th at 7:30 p.m. for residents over 18 interested in volunteering.
