The Isabella County Sheriffs Department is asking ordinary citizens to join in the fight against crime.
The new victim services unit in the Isabella County Sheriff's Department would allow civilians to respond to calls from crime victims. The sheriff's department says typically cases dealing with death and missing people are what the new unit will be handling.
Leo Mioduszewski is the Isabella County Sheriff.
"I think with this program we're gonna be able to fill those gaps. The individual with the victim services unit individual will be able to provide information on funeral homes and what happens in the criminal justice process. They'll be able to sit down and explain things thouruoughly to the family, which is something we're not able to do.
Training for the new unit will begin in October. People can find out more information on the program by calling the Isabella County Sheriffs Department.
