Victim/Witness Assistance Programs

Local Victim/Witness Assistance Programs serve victims of all crimes in their area. These are programs typically located in a local law enforcement agency or county attorney's office, and most often work with victims or witnesses in criminal cases. They can assist by providing information on investigation status, charges filed, court dates and assistance with protection orders. They also ensure that victims of crime know their rights, and that their voices are heard as part of the criminal justice process.
