Victim Advocates

There are victim advocates who attend to the medical, emotional and financial needs of crime victims and their family members, and of crime witnesses. They keep victims apprised of the status of crime investigations, and assist officers and prosecutors in strengthening criminal cases by maintaining communication between them and the victims. Victim advocates provide these services from when the incident occurs until the criminal justice process is completed.
