WOODSTOCK - The government of Ontario will be rolling out over $4-million in funding.
The money will help support victims and survivors of intimate partner violence/domestic violence, human trafficking, and child exploitation.
Locally, Woodstock Police Service (WPS) will be receiving $100,000 to help with the resources they have to help residents deal with the trauma they might have.
Woodstock Police Service, in partnership with Victim Assistance Service Oxford County, will work together to ensure people feel safe, secure, and supported in the community.
MPP of Oxford, Ernie Hardeman states in a release sent to Heart FM, "This funding is very welcome in our community.”
Also from the release, he says, "It will help to further the important work already being done to fight crime in Oxford and across Ontario. We will continue supporting victims of crime by investing in our police services to maintain safe communities."
In addition to initiatives to raise awareness about human trafficking, intimate partner violence, and child exploitation, funding will be used to help meet victim needs beyond what is available through counselling and legal support.
WPS will provide "go bags" to victims that contain personal care, nutrition, contact information, and comfort and activity items for youth victims.
