Victim Contact Program

When a citizen has their car broken into while out shopping or during the night, they call Crime Check to report it.  If there is no suspect, a copy of this report is sent to the nearest substation of the victim. 

Information is sent to each shop so volunteers may call the victim and offer further assistance.  Volunteers have the opportunity to answer questions for the citizen. 

Typically, they may respond to the question, “why hasn’t a police officer ever come out?”  Volunteers remind victims of their incident report number so they can reference it if they call in any additional information to Crime Check at a later time. 

Stop by your local C.O.P.S. Substation for information about decreasing your risk of becoming a victim of a car break-in.
