34 used cell phones have already been collected and donated to Victim Services to directly support victims and vulnerable community members in Central Region. T...he 911 cell phone program is designed to support a victim's safety plan and to lessen re-victimization, by providing an additional device to contact police in an emergency. Home may not be the safest place for adults and children who suffer from intimate partner abuse, sexual violence or elder abuse, among others. If a landline or cell phone is damaged by the abuser, a 911 cell phone may be a victims' only way to seek help. Any phone, connected or not connected to a service provider and cell phone plan, can be used to dial 911. Upon the onset of COVID-19, Central Region Victim Services agencies expressed a need for used cell phones for their Victim Safety Planning Programs. Central Region OPP has been working with local Victim Services to support the important program. Victim Services accepts new and used donated cell phones to support victims and vulnerable persons within their communities. Local agencies include: Victim Services of Simcoe County http://bavcars.ca/ Caledon Dufferin Victim Services https://www.cdvs.ca/ Victim Services of Peterborough and Northumberland http://victimservicespn.ca/ Muskoka Victim Services http://victimservicespn.ca/ North Simcoe Victim Services Orillia https://www.ns-vs.com/ Kawartha Haliburton Victim Services https://victim-services.org/ If you have new or used cell phones you'd like to donate, please contact your local victim services agency. Visit https://211ontario.ca/ to locate an agency near you.
