About Us
The Alberta model for police-based assistance to
victims of crime has local Coordinators in charge of volunteers
who provide the front-line services. These programs or units are
located within their respective RCMP Detachment or Police Service,
and managed by either a local governing Board or Police Service
staff itself.
Formed in the 1990's out of a need for Victim Service Coordinators
to have a forum to network, share ideas and have a common voice,
today the Alberta Police-based Victim Services Association is a
strong vibrant community representing over 100 Victim Service programs
throughout the Province of Alberta.
The Board of Directors of the Association is composed of a representative
from each of the twelve regions in Alberta: Calgary City, Calgary
Region, Central Region, Edmonton City, Edson Region, Lethbridge
City, Lethbridge Region, Medicine Hat City, Morinville Region, Peace
River Region, Red Deer City and St Paul Region.
The Association operates on a grant received from the Alberta Victims
of Crime Fund.
