VICTIM WITNESS SPECIALIST BRITTA DAVIS began her career with the Fort Collins Police Services (FCPS) over 13 years ago. As the survivor of a sexual assault as a teenager, her positive interaction with the officers and victim advocate who displayed empathy, respect, and kindness sparked her interest in the profession. At the age of 18, she began to volunteer at community agencies that aided victims of violence. This exposure strengthened her resolve to strive for her goal of becoming an advocate. Upon becoming an advocate, Specialist Davis decided to become a self-educated expert in the areas of victim trauma and neurological impacts of trauma on the human brain, and she became a certified Forensic Experiential Trauma Interviewer.

Furthermore, as a member of the Eighth Judicial District’s Critical Incident Response Team, Specialist Davis has led the Victim Services Unit’s response to incidents investigated by this multijurisdictional team. Additionally, she serves on the State Colorado Organization for Victims Assistance (COVA) board, as well as the 3Hopeful Hearts board. Specialist Davis is a natural leader who has leveraged her vast and growing knowledge in the field of trauma to train other advocates and officers throughout the state, including by providing high-level training courses at the FCPS Front Range Community College, allowing her to inspire others to knowledgeably and passionately advocate for victims. She is a recipient of several awards, such as the FCPS High Caliber Culture, FCPS Civilian Employee of the Year, Eighth Judicial District Systems-Based Advocate of the Year, and FCPS Commitment to Excellence Awards.

“I am motivated by my passion and desire to be a positive and motivating civilian leader in the law enforcement profession.”
