Since 1992, Colorado has served victims of crime under the Colorado Victim Right’s Act (VRA). The Aurora Police Department's Victim Services Unit (VSU) consists of a supervisor, victim advocates, support staff, volunteers and interns. Victim advocates work with our patrol units and investigation divisions. Our mission has always been to provide quality, timely, and effective crisis intervention and referrals to identified victims of crime and traumatic events in the city of Aurora. We respond to crimes covered under the VRA, such as, domestic violence, crimes against children and elderly, sexual assaults, homicides, and more. We ensure that all victims are treated with dignity, fairness and respect. It isn’t our story to tell, but if invited in to help, it is without judgment. The path to healing isn’t often traveled by one, but many, advocates, community partners, therapists, family member, friends and many more. Our responses include immediate on scene, phone calls, follow up, provide support during interviews, communication through email and letters, as well as connecting victims to court. We are available 24/7, 365 days a year to provide support, information and resources.
