Victim Services

The primary role of the Victim Services Specialist (VSS) is to assist the victim in navigating the investigative process and the court system. They do this by answering any questions, connecting those who have experienced harm to community resources, and providing timely updates regarding their case.

The VSS is based in the Fargo Police Department and assists those who have made a report with law enforcement. The VSS is a mandated reporter and therefore is not confidential. If you are in need of a confidential advocate, the Rape and Abuse Crisis Center is confidential and will work with you, even if you have not reported to law enforcement.
