When a crime occurs, police, doctors, and firefighters come to mind, but they aren’t the only options victims have to seek help.
Victim advocates are available at Dixie State University, the surrounding police stations, and a local nonprofit called the Dove Center. They help victims with filling out reports and other necessary paperwork needed after crimes. However, that’s not all they do.
When a victim calls in to report crimes like domestic violence or rape a victim s advocate is often the first contact a victim has. They offer emergency shelter for immediate needs and whatever else a victim needs to feel safe and heard at that moment.
