Victims Assistance Unit

The goal of the Victims Assistance Unit is to ensure that people victimized by crime are treated with fairness, dignity, and respect and that all opportunities for assistance are offered to them.

The Advocates have received special training designed to help victims (and others) involved in crisis situations, handle the trauma with significantly less long-term effect. We believe that the earlier the intervention, the better the recovery will be.
