Lethbridge Police Victim/Witness Services looking for new members
LETHBRIDGE, AB – Lethbridge Police’s Victim/Witness Services Unit is looking to bolster its ranks.
The unit is a group of volunteers trained to assist victims of a crime or traumatic event through the criminal justice process.
That includes making sure they have the right supports they need in place, making sure they have access to any governmental assistance programs they might be eligible for, and just being there to lend a helping hand through a tough time.
Acting manager Catherine Pooley says they have 47 volunteers in total. Some are currently on leave, though, so their active roster stands at about 42 volunteers, along with three staff members.
