Victim Witness Assistance Programs

Victim Witness Assistance Programs are support services designed to help individuals who have experienced crime and are involved in the legal process. These programs provide emotional support, information about court proceedings, and resources to ensure victims and witnesses understand their rights and feel supported throughout the justice process. They also offer safety planning and referrals to additional services if needed. The goal is to reduce trauma, empower victims and witnesses, and facilitate their cooperation with law enforcement and the courts, ensuring a fair and respectful legal process.
