National Crime Victims’ Rights Week will take place April 21-27, 2024. This year’s theme is “How would you help? Options, services and hope for crime survivors.” The theme is intended to ensure that everyone in a community knows where and how crime victims and survivors can get help – including friends, family members, colleagues, neighbours, service providers and other trusted members of the community. We must all be willing to offer support.
For more information on how you can support all victims of crime, visit the Office for Victims of Crime website at ovc.ojp.gov.
Officer Jake Hamann began his career with the Sioux City Police Department in 2021. Prior to joining SCPD, he worked for the Kingsley Police Department and the Sergeant Bluff Police Department. His special interests include fishing, cooking and spending time with his friends and family.

Officer Rose had so much fun talking with Bear Den from Cub Scout Pack 208, Sioux City. The purpose was to make the children learn about different careers, to show the many different paths to success and to show that people of different backgrounds, races, skills, talents and abilities can have a place in each of these fields. They’ve heard about law enforcement and education, and they’ll also hear about law and aviation. They are amazing kids with a bright future ahead of them no matter what career they choose! Thanks for letting us come!
