Victims of crime and crime survivors come from all walks of life and all parts of the communities that law enforcement serves every day. Whether working with victims or families affected by violent crime, hate crimes, sexual assault, or a myriad of other offenses, it’s key that law enforcement be prepared to offer or partner with those who offer victim support services. Likewise, law enforcement must be aware of segments of their community that might be fearful of reaching out for help—immigrants, victims of intimate partner violence, gang-affiliated individuals, and so forth—and take the initiative to build trust and relationships with them.
