Ensure victim’s rights are not being violated and their needs are being met.
Ensure basic services are accessible throughout Saskatchewan to meet the needs of victims.
Improve the understanding of the needs of victims of crime.
Educating the public & professionals about the needs of victims & how to respond in a helpful and compassionate way.
About Us
We are a police (RCMP) based program that is supported and funded by the Ministry of Justice and Attorney General.
Our program began in 1992 in Swift Current and has since spread to the Southwest districts of Kyle, Maple Creek, Shaunavon, Gull Lake, Tompkins, Leader, Ponteix, Gravelbourg, Assiniboia, Morse, Herbert, and 40 other communities in Southwest Saskatchewan.
We have a dedicated volunteer base who work out of the respective districts with the RCMP. Victim Services Southwest offices can be found in each of the Southwest RCMP detachments.
A salaried Coordinator, Assistant Coordinator, and Administrative Assistant work alongside a volunteer Board of Directors and are responsible for the operation of the program.
