During Victims and Survivors of Crime Week (May 10-16, 2026), OPP recognize the strength and resilience of victims and survivors, while acknowledging the dedication of individuals who work tirelessly to support those impacted by crime.
Across Ontario, OPP work closely with Victim Services personnel and community‑based partners to provide timely, trauma‑informed assistance to individuals and families during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. These partnerships rely on committed professionals and volunteers whose compassion and expertise help bridge the gap between emergency response and long‑term recovery.
On May 14, Central Region OPP, alongside Victim Service community partners, will recognize individuals whose contributions and commitment have positively impacted communities throughout the region. This event provides an opportunity to recognize Victim Services workers, OPP members, and dedicated community members and organizations who have gone above and beyond in supporting victims and strengthening our communities.
OPP members are often the first point of contact for victims and survivors. Through collaboration with Victim Services professionals and volunteers, OPP help ensure support extends beyond the initial police response. This collective approach reflects a shared commitment to victim‑centred policing, compassion and community safety. Victims and Survivors of Crime Week also serves as an opportunity to recognize the people who, through their daily work, help victims navigate the aftermath of crime and access the support they need to move forward.
For information about victim supports available in your community, individuals are encouraged to contact local Victim Services organizations or visit Ontario.ca/VictimServices.
