Advocates are available to help victims navigate the criminal justice system and work to ensure that all crime victims are treated in accordance with the Washington State Constitution and the Crime Victims’ Bill of Rights. We attempt to maintain communication with crime victims and witnesses regarding the legal procedure in a criminal action. We can provide assistance in applying for Crime Victim’s Compensation , a state program which may provide compensation for physical or mental injuries resulting from a criminal action. The Victim Witness Unit strives to connect victims with available resources (link to links) within the community while providing ongoing support for those victims and witnesses involved in the criminal justice system. |
