Victim services volunteers serve our community well
Volunteer Appreciation Week is April 18-24 and I think it is important to recognize the amazing Victim Advocate volunteers with the Grand Junction Police Department Victim Services Unit.
These members of our community have completed a very in-depth 40-hour academy that trained them in all the ways they can support victims of crime in Grand Junction. They then cover four, 12-hour shifts each month to ensure that no victims are left unserved.
In the very unsteady and unpredictable world we are living in, and with the increase in crime we have experienced over the past months, Victim Advocates are invaluable in the service they offer.
