VSD-Victim Services Division

Little Foxes deals with the unfortunate subject of violent crimes against children. This book is fiction, but I want to take a moment to recognize the real people who diligently investigate these terrible crimes.

One of the FBI departments that fights against the crime touched upon in Little Foxes is the Victim Services Division. I was honored to receive this coin, which represents that division, from a friend of mine.

The Victim Services Division (VSD) informs, supports, and assists victims in navigating the aftermath of crime and the criminal justice process with dignity and resilience.

VSD is responsible for ensuring that victims of crimes investigated by the FBI are given the opportunity to receive services and notification as required by federal law and the Attorney General Guidelines on Victim and Witness Assistance.

Since its inception in 2001, the FBI’s victim assistance program has provided services—such as crisis intervention, emergency travel assistance, and local referrals for counseling, housing, and other services—to more than 2 million victims. (FBI.gov)
