ACCPD's Victim Assistance Program is designed to help students, faculty, staff, and visitors who become victims of crime. This includes assisting victims who need to report crimes, preparing them to testify against accused persons, escorting them to any and all court appearances, preparing status reports on cases, regaining property used as evidence during a trial, getting compensation for losses, and assisting with academic intervention as necessary.

Our Victim Services Officers are trained in counseling victims of crime. Also available are references for on and off campus legal, financial, medical, and psychological assistance. The primary role for the Victim Services Officers are to act as liaison for the victims and network for that person's specific needs. Some of the resources include utilization of victim advocates in surrounding jurisdictions. Call 512-223-1231 for more information or you can email Victim Services Coordinator, Sergeant Kathy Dalton at kdalton@austincc.edu.
