New Yorkers of all ages should feel safe in the communities they helped build over the years. That\u2019s why I will be joining the New York City Department for the Aging\u2019s Outreach Team along with the NYPD as we distribute informational materials across the City for National Night Out Against Crime on Aug. 6.<\/p>\n

Every day, our Elderly Crime Victims Resource Center supports and guides victims as they seek compensation for out-of-pocket expenses and as they interact with law enforcement, local courts, mental health professionals and others. In each borough, we partner with community-based providers to deliver services close to home in many languages.<\/p>\n

Through the ThriveNYC mental health initiative, the City of New York has also created the Crime Victim Assistance Program<\/a> with the NYPD and Safe Horizon, which places an advocate in every precinct to better assist victims.<\/p>\n

Walking on a street alone, taking the subway or sitting in the privacy of one\u2019s home is what New Yorkers do every day. Yet we increasingly hear about older adults being victimized during these daily\u00a0life activities. They are being targeted for assault, robbery, financial scams or neglect by people they may or may not know. These crimes are unacceptable and outrageous.<\/p>\n

We are all aging! As a society, we need to own that fact. We must protect and respect the rights of generations that have come before us, not allow them to be treated as prey.<\/p>\n

If you are an older crime victim or know an older victim, please contact our Elderly Crime Victims Resource Center at 212-442-3103 or call 311 for more information.<\/p>\n

The NYPD is expanding the Crime Victims Assistance Program (CVAP)<\/a> to all of the city\u2019s 77 precincts and nine Police Service Areas (PSA), making it the first police department in the country to make such a service available to crime victims citywide.\r\n\r\nCVAP is a free and confidential program that pairs crime victims with trained advocates who help mitigate post-event trauma by discussing their safety concerns, legal rights, and ways to navigate the criminal justice system in a meaningful way. NYPD coordinates with Safe Horizon, the largest non-profit services agency in the United States, to provide crime victims with a number of resources, including crisis intervention, access to counseling and support groups, emergency housing or relocation assistance, and information on other local services that can help them with crime-related needs.\r\n\r\n\u201cThe pain and emotional vulnerability of being a victim of crime can linger long after the violence or violation has happened. In the safest big city in the country, we don't want anyone to feel alone and without support,<\/em>\u201d said First Lady Chirlane McCray, who leads the City's mental health and substance misuse efforts.<\/strong> \u201cThriveNYC is committed to ensuring all crime victims have access to mental health services. By expanding the Crime Victim Advocate Partnership to all 77 precincts and all nine Police Service Areas in NYC, any New Yorker who has been a victim of a crime will have access to the support they need.<\/em>\u201d\r\n\r\n\u201cThis trailblazing program is the product of seamless collaboration with our partners at Safe Horizon, and New Yorkers\u2019 willingness and ability to share responsibility for public safety,<\/em>\u201d said NYPD Commissioner James P. O\u2019Neill<\/strong>. \u201cIt is an invaluable resource for every New York City neighborhood as police officers and victim advocates work together to keep residents safe, and ensure that they feel safe, too.<\/em>\u201d\r\n\r\n\u201cCVAP allows us as a city to reach people in great need at a very vulnerable time\u2014immediately following a crime,<\/em>\u201d said Deputy Commissioner for Collaborative Policing Susan Herman<\/strong>.\u00a0\u201cWe are so pleased that victim advocates are now in every precinct and PSA in the city, making it more convenient than ever before to help victims of crime rebuild their lives.<\/em>\u201d\r\n\r\nEnsuring CVAP is available citywide supports a central goal of ThriveNYC<\/a>, the roadmap championed by First Lady of New York City Chirlane McCray that aims to help New Yorkers better navigate the city\u2019s mental health services. A major public awareness campaign will roll out this fall to ensure the public is familiar with the services CVAP provides.\r\n\r\n\u201cIn New York City no crime victim has to rebuild their life or navigate the system alone,<\/em>\u201d said ThriveNYC Executive Director Alexis Confer.<\/strong> \u201cI applaud First Lady McCray for her leadership in bringing this program to all precincts and PSA\u2019s. I also want to thank the crime victim\u2019s advocates for the important work they do every day to support survivors of crime in our city.<\/em>\u201d\r\n\r\nSince its launch in 2016, CVAP has helped thousands of New Yorkers feel safe and assisted in the aftermath of a crime. The program\u2019s positive impact is clear: from the start of the program in July 2016 through July 31, 2018, CVAP advocates across the city have reviewed more than 500,000 police reports to help proactively identify victims who may be in need of their services. During that same time period, CVAP has interacted with approximately 70,000 individuals to make sure they are aware of their rights and options after being victimized by a crime, advocating for nearly 11,000 New Yorkers to help them navigate various services such as housing, mental health, public benefits, and the criminal justice system.\r\n\r\n\u201cThe Crime Victim Assistance Program (CVAP) makes key connections between victims and critical supports,<\/em>\u201d said Commissioner of the Mayor\u2019s Office to Combat Domestic Violence Cecile Noel<\/strong>. \u201cFor victims of intimate partner violence, in<\/em>\u00a0particular, these supports are vital to addressing safety concerns, navigating the criminal justice process, and connecting to other support services and resources. We applaud this important and successful partnership between law enforcement and social services.<\/em>\u201d\r\n\r\nCVAP is part of the Department\u2019s broader commitment to drive down crime and strengthen ties to local communities through innovative neighborhood policing. That same commitment made July 2018 the safest on record in New York City and places the department on track to finish 2018 under a total of 100,000 index crimes, which would be only the second time the NYPD has reached this milestone in the CompStat-era.\r\n\r\n\u201cNo one deserves to be a victim of violence, crime, or abuse. But when crime happens, it matters that a Safe Horizon CVAP Advocate is there to follow-up and help them. I am proud of CVAP advocates for helping victims in their time of greatest need, delivering services every day that are timely, client-centered and trauma-informed,<\/em>\u201d said Safe Horizon CEO Ariel Zwang<\/strong>. \u201cNow, anyone who has experienced a crime can go into any NYPD precinct or Police Service Area to speak with an advocate who can help with safety planning, address practical needs, and begin the healing process. I am grateful to First Lady Chirlane McCray, Police Commissioner James O\u2019 Neill, and Deputy Commissioner for Collaborative Policing Susan Herman for launching this remarkable program.<\/em>\u201d\r\n\r\nTo find nearest NYPD precinct or Police Service Area for CVAP services, click here<\/a>.\r\n\r\nSafe Horizon is the largest non-profit victim services agency in the United States. We touch the lives of more than 250,000 children, adults, and families affected by crime and abuse throughout New York City each year. We provide compassionate and expert support for people who have experienced: Domestic and intimate partner violence, Child physical and sexual abuse, Rape and sexual assault, Human trafficking, Stalking, Youth homelessness, Violent crimes committed against a family member and within communities. Safe Horizon partners with governmental and other community agencies and also advocates for policies on a local, state, and national level on behalf of those affected by violence and abuse.<\/em>","post_title":"First Lady Chirlane McCray, NYPD Announce Expansion of Crime Victim Assistance Program to Every NYC Precinct\u00a0","post_excerpt":" Safe Horizon CVAP advocates now provide
