Upon the onset of COVID, Central Region Victim Service agencies expressed a need for used cell phones for their Victim Safety Planning Programs.<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; margin-right: 14px;\"><strong><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45658\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n<p>Victim Services accepts new and used donated cell phones to support victims and vulnerable persons within their communities. The 911 cell phone program is designed to support a victims&#8217; safety plan and to lessen re-victimization, by providing an additional device to contact police in an emergency. Home sometimes isn&#8217;t the safest place, and this can be the case for adults and children who suffer from intimate partner abuse, sexual violence and elder abuse, among others. If a landline or cell phone is damaged by the abuser, a 911 cell phone may be a victims&#8217; 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.<\/p>\n<p>The Bracebridge and Huntsville OPP Detachments will be collecting cell phones, which will directly benefit our Muskoka Victim Services. For more information, visit the Muskoka Victim Services website at <a href=\"https:\/\/muskokavs.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">muskokavs.ca<\/span>.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Starting Monday, November, 23, 2020, to donate your cellphone(s), please bring your gently used cellphones to either detachment between 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday to Friday. To donate a phone to the Victim Service Phone Safety Program through the detachment drop off box, please complete the following steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Remove your SIM card;<\/li>\n<li>Bring cellphone AND charger (if possible);<\/li>\n<li>Use disinfectant wipes (provided at detachment); all phones and chargers must be wiped down at the detachment prior to going into the box;<\/li>\n<li>Place in clear Ziploc bag for your phone and charger (provided at detachment); and<\/li>\n<li>Provide the name of the cellphone carrier OR identify if the phone is unlocked (note attached to phone is fine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;This is a great opportunity for members of the community to help out vulnerable victims within their communities by donating their old cell phones. You may be helping a neighbour without even knowing because unfortunately we aren&#8217;t aware of what occurs behind closed doors. Even though a cell phone is no longer connected to a plan, as long as it has a charged battery it can still dial 911,&#8221; said Detective Sergeant Tanya Tremble, Abuse Issues and Mental Health Coordinator, Central Region, OPP<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox three times per week!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A message from OPP Central Region The Bracebridge and Huntsville Detachments of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are committed to upholding their commitment to victims of crime.
