Safe Harbor |
|
| |
Safe
Harbor is a house in the City of Simi Valley where law enforcement on
the east side of the county can take a victim instead of taking them to
the police station. For a victim already traumatized by the event, the
station or a hospital can be a very scary place. Here, rape and
molestation victims can tell what happened to them in a single interview
with law enforcement and medical and legal professionals in a homelike
setting. It is a multi-disciplinary Center, where all of the entities
involved in the situation meet, discuss and make decisions on the
direction of the case. The majority are women and girls. Providing a
warm, comfortable environment for victims of crime is so important, and
being able to support them at such a traumatic time is a benefit at Safe
Harbor.
