Victim and witness support is one of the many services provided by D-Y's school resource officers. Occasionally our students and/or staff are exposed to crime, most often in the community and sometimes at home. SROs are one link in a chain of services available, particularly to special and sensitive victims. We are conveniently located and accessible and ready to help. Other locally available services are at the other end of the links below.

Our civilian support staff can play an important role in assisting victims and witnesses of crime through the investigative and court processes.
