Victim Services - Crisis Intervention Unit

The North Vancouver RCMP Crisis Intervention Unit provides support to victims and witnesses of crime and other significant traumatic events.

The Crisis Intervention Unit is comprised of a supervisor, full-time staff and auxiliary staff. They offer practical assistance, emotional support, referrals and court orientation and accompaniment. They also provide information on the Victims of Crime Act, where legislation defines a victims rights, and the Crime Victim Assistance Program, when an individual may be eligible for benefits such as counselling or crime scene cleaning.

Upon police request, a Crisis Intervention Unit staff member will attend the scene of the incident, the detachment, the hospital or the victim’s home.

The Crisis Intervention Unit is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to attend calls outs at the request of police. General public are able to reach them by phone Monday to Friday 7 a.m. – 10 p.m. and weekends and statutory holidays 11:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. If you have been a victim or witness of a crime or have experienced trauma and would like assistance, please contact 604-969-7540.
