WESTMINSTER, Colo -- For more than two decades, this group has been volunteering as victim advocates with our Victim Services Unit here at  WPD. Our volunteers respond to crime scenes at all hours, often in the middle of the night, providing critical support, compassion and information to those experiencing crime and personal tragedy.

Last night, we had the honor of recognizing four incredible women for their countless hours of service to our community, with Chief Haubert presenting each of them with a special award.
Please join us in congratulating, and thanking this selfless group:
  • Vicki Deitchel - 25 years of service
  • Kelly Fernandez-Kroyer - 21 years of service
  • Deb Oster - 21 years of service
  • Chris Sanborn - 23 years of service
We couldn't do this without you. Thank you.
