The Ormond Beach Police Department is extremely proud of its Victim Advocate Program. The program was implemented in 2001, and has grown tremendously to become a vital part of the service the agency delivers to the community.

The agency feels it was extremely lucky to have hired an individual, Erica Hines, with extensive experience in the field and a passion for helping others. Through the Victim Advocate's organizational and recruiting abilities the agency has a number of volunteers who assist with this program including 4 Volunteer Chaplains, and 4 Volunteer Victim Advocates. This group has far exceeded the target goals set for the unit and have continued to expand the types of services provided to help those in need.
