Victim Services Section Recognized
The Fairfax County Police Department’s Victim Services Section received the International Association of Chiefs of Police Excellence in Victim Services Award for large departments. The award recognizes exceptional achievement and crime victim response by law enforcement.
Only one-third of police departments nationwide have established victim services units. The IACP presentation recognized the history and achievements of the FCPD Victim Services Section by saying, “Nearly twenty five years ago, the Fairfax County Police Department (FCPD) established a program that would serve the needs of victims while supporting the mission, values, and goals of FCPD. Over the years the Victim Services Section (VSS) has become an integral part of FCPD and developed as the service arm of the department to respond along with enforcement, protection, and safety components to protect and preserve the welfare and quality of life for the citizens of Fairfax County. The VSS works along with an array of collaborative partners to provide quality services for victims and witnesses of all crime.”
Colonel David M. Rohrer, Chief of Police, Carroll Ellis, Director of Victim Services Section, and Kyanna Perkins, Assistant Director of Victim Services Section accepted the award at the annual IACP conference in Orlando, Florida, on October 25.
