Victim Witness Division |

| The goal of a Victim Advocate is to help victims prevail over the trauma of their victimization by assisting and advocating for safety, healing, justice, and restitution. It has been proven that victims heal faster & move on with their lives quicker when they receive assistance & support from trained advocates & have a voice in the judicial system. The advocate provides support, resources, and an understanding of the process of victimization & trauma recovery. |
