Victim Response Team
In partnership with the 8th Judicial District Attorney, Larimer County, and other regional partners, a new web resource has been created for victims of crime. Visit it at https://www.larimer.gov/victim-rights-and-resources.
The Larimer County Sheriff's Office Victim Response Team (VRT) was established in 1994 to provide services for victims. The Victim Response Team responds to victims throughout Larimer County 24 hours, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
The services provided include:
- On-scene assistance
- Emotional support
- Referrals to local resources
- Information regarding the Crime Victim Compensation program
- Assistance with bond hearings
In addition to the support provided victims, one of the main goals of the VRT is to inform victims of the legal rights pursuant to Title 24 of the Colorado Revised Statutes. The VRT assures that victims are aware of their legal rights by providing an informative Victim Rights pamphlet.
The Victim Response Team also responds and provides assistance in situations including suicide, unattended deaths, family problems, floods, fires, missing persons, death notifications, and critical incidents.
