Special Victims Unit
The Special Victims Unit (SVU) is a specialized division within law enforcement agencies that focuses on investigating crimes involving sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse. SVU officers are trained to handle sensitive cases with care and compassion, ensuring that victims receive the support they need while pursuing justice.
In many jurisdictions, the SVU works closely with social services, medical professionals, and advocacy groups to provide comprehensive assistance to victims. This collaboration helps to address the emotional and psychological needs of survivors, while also gathering evidence and building strong cases for prosecution against offenders.
