Our Victim Assistance Program was established to provide victims and survivors of crime and their families assistance with the physical, emotional, and financial effects of criminal acts. The two victim assistance coordinators in our district accomplish this by providing direct services and referrals to appropriate community organizations. They provide encouragement and information to assist crime victims who are recovering from traumatic experiences while participating in the criminal justice system. Services provided by the victim assistance coordinators include, but are not limited to:

  • crisis intervention
  • referrals to social service agencies
  • information about the criminal justice system
  • information on statuses of cases
  • assistance in applying for compensation with the Attorney General's Crime Victim Compensation Division
  • assistance with Victim Impact Statement preparation and submission
  • court accompaniment
  • employer, school, and creditor intercession
  • provide a safe waiting area in the courthouse
  • sentence notification
