About Job

The Parker Police Department is looking for volunteer advocates for the Parker Victim Services Unit. This position requires a caring, articulate, sensitive individual with the ability to maintain good rapport with victims, patrol officers, outside agencies and the public. Advocates provide immediate crisis intervention and support for victims and survivors of crimes in cases including but not limited to death, domestic violence, sexual assault and other crimes.

In depth and on-going training is provided to Advocates on the dynamics of victimization and victim services. Advocates will gain direct experience in providing support to those in need. They will also gain knowledge about law enforcement and the criminal justice system. Participation will enhance community responsiveness to the right of victims and survivors of crime.
