Scott Brown, Our Unsung Hero!
Victim Services Unit
The Victim Services Unit is an innovative approach between law enforcement and victim advocates providing direct, immediate services and shelter to victims of domestic violence and other crimes.
Crime Victim Advocates, are employees of the Post Falls Police Department, and are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to respond with officers to give immediate assistance to victims of crime.
Support is ongoing and can include shelter, medical, court and prosecution assistance. The Victim Services Unit operates an emergency shelter and support group for victims. A resource library, volunteer corp., community education, and training is also available. Read more ...

Victim Services Unit Releases PSA
The picture of domestic violence…..
It can be anyone; any race, religion, ethnicity, income level or age. Domestic Violence affects everyone. 1 in 4 women and 1 in 10 men will be victims of domestic violence. In collaboration with kNifve’s (Kootenai Northwest Independent Film and Video Entertainment Society) and produced by WJ Lazerus, the Post Falls Police Department proudly presents our Public Service Announcement on domestic violence. For more information or resources please contact the Post Falls Police Victim Services Unit at (208) 773-1080.
Center Target Sports Honored
This morning the Post Falls Police Department honored CTS for our ongoing support of their Victim Services Unit. Since 2005 through our "Refuse to be a Victim" classes we have donated $6700 to the O.A.S.I.S. program. We were very humbled and appreciative of the recognition. However, our efforts are so miniscule in comparison to the great work done by not only the Victim Services Unit but the entire Post Falls Police department.
As you know, I teach in police departments and at law enforcement conferences across the country. I can honestly say that I would put our local PD up against any department I have ever worked with. The professionalism and dedication exemplified by these men in woman is something we should all be proud of. Please take the time to help and support the PFPD whenever possible.
