The Prince George RCMP's victim services section is looking to increase its volunteer base.
"We have an amazing, close knit and dedicated team of 12 volunteers but we like to have that number closer to 20," coordinator Krista Levar said.
Victim services personnel accompany RCMP officers to sometimes devastating, brutal scenes of crime and tragedy.
They provide support to the survivors and loved ones of many serious crimes or incidents such as murder, sudden death, suicide, assault, sexual assault, and motor vehicle fatalities.
They attend court with victims, assist with referrals and provide the community with support when it is most needed.
"Volunteers who are accepted into the program are provided with extensive training and a volunteer experience unlike any other," said Levar.
An information session is being held at the Prince George RCMP detachment on Tuesday, 7 p.m. start.
This event will provide insight into the program, an opportunity to meet the current volunteers and a chance to ask questions.
You must be 19 years or older and you need to bring government-issued photo identification in order to gain access to the meeting
For more information or for interview opportunities, call Levar at 250-561-3373.
