Victim Services 

Crime has the potential to change the course of a person’s life. Crime impacts victims, witnesses, families, and at times entire communities. Kaysville Police Victim Services Program was established to ensure the fair and compassionate treatment of victims of crime. Kaysville Police Department fully supports the rights of crime victims and guarantees that victims of crime are treated with dignity and respect.
