Our Team

The Fox Cities Victim Crisis Response Team would not be able to achieve our mission of providing on-scene support for victims of crime without strategic guidance from our Board of Directors, day-to-day program management from our paid staff, hands-on assistance from trained volunteers, and tactical instruction and advice from local police liaisons.

Trained Volunteers

Without the help of our trained volunteers, we would not be able to ensure that victims and witnesses of crime are treated with dignity, respect, fairness, compassion, courtesy, and sensitivity.

Police Liaisons

We also need to recognize the amazing support that we receive from local police departments. Without the experience, expertise, and commitment to the community demonstrated by their police liaisons, we would not be able to support victims and witnesses of crime as effectively as we do today.
