Victim Services

The Chandler Police and Fire Departments work in unison to provide crime victims with a continuum of support from the crisis period through the investigative and judicial processes. Chandler Fire Department utilizes their Crisis Response Team, or CR288, to assist persons with practical or emotional needs following traumatic events. Once CR288 has assisted on-scene, the Victim Services Program continues to support crime victims through the investigative process and criminal justice system. It is the goal of the Chandler Victim Services Program to enhance the treatment of victims and survivors of criminal acts by providing them with services that can assist them in recovery as quickly and fully as possible.
