Victim/Witness Services

Lethbridge Police Victim/Witness Services Unit (V/WSU) is a police-based victim assistance program built on the belief that all victims and witnesses of crime and tragedy deserve to be supported and find healing.

Since 1991, our trauma-informed emergency scene and follow-up services have helped create pathways to healing, foster hope and empowerment, and contribute to a safer, healthier community. We recognize that navigating the criminal justice system can be challenging, and we are here to ensure you do not have to walk that journey alone.

At the heart of V/WSU are our dedicated volunteer Crisis Support Workers, who serve as first responders providing compassionate support during some of life's most challenging moments. Equipped with extensive training in communication, crisis intervention, traumatic stress, and the impacts of victimization, they help individuals navigate difficult circumstances and connect with the resources and support they need.

Working alongside the Lethbridge Police Service and other community services within southern Alberta, we ensure our community’s needs are met 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
