Victim Services Unit

Supporting Victims of Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, Stalking and Sexual Abuse of Children

Our Victim Services Advocacy Unit is committed to reducing the trauma that victims and witnesses may experience following domestic violence, stalking, sexual assaults and sexual abuse of children. We seek to make the criminal justice system more understandable, accessible, and responsive to the concerns of victims and their families.

Victim Advocates work to ensure that crime victims and their family members are provided the services and information necessary to be an integral part of the criminal case process and to ensure victims are treated fairly and that their voices are heard.

 Advocacy services include:

• On Scene Crisis Intervention
• Support During the Investigation
• Court Support
• Orientation to the Criminal Justice System
• Referrals to Community Resources
• Personal Advocacy
• Safety Planning
• Help with Victim Impact Statements
• Case Status Updates
• Community Education

Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault are some of the most under-reported crimes in the state of Idaho. To help stop these crimes, they must be reported to law enforcement!
