Eleven organizations supporting victims of crime are receiving surplus cell phones from the province’s police force.
200 surplus cell phones have been donated to Victim Services agencies, including the Huron County branch.
The donated cell phones will support victims of crime and vulnerable people in crisis who may not have access to or may not be able to safely use their own cell phone.
The donated cell phones will also support a victims’ safety plan and lessen re-victimization by helping to prevent isolation.
The following agencies will receive the decommissioned OPP cell phones:
- Victim Services of Bruce, Grey and Perth
- Chatham-Kent Victim Services
- Victim Services Elgin
- Victim Services Huron County
- Victim Services of Middlesex-London
- Victim Assistance Services Oxford County
- Victim Services of Sarnia-Lambton
- Victim Services of Windsor-Essex County
- Victim Services of Brant
- Victim Services of Haldimand-Norfolk/New Credit
