The Mohave County Attorney Victim Services Division is looking for individuals intereted in making a difference in our community. We are looking for Crisis Intervention Advocates. These advocates are dispatched out by Law Enforcement to the crime scene where a victim is present. The advocates respond in teams of 2. Once on scene the advocates gather as much information about the crime from the officers. Next and the most important task is taking care of the victim. This can be as simple as lending a listening ear to transporting the victim to shelter.
The Mohave County Attorney Victim Services Division is also looking for individuals interested in Court Advocacy. These advocates attend court with or on behalf of the victim. If they are attending on behalf they will get all the details of what happned at the court hearing and report it back to the victim. If they are attending with the victim they are there to provide support and guidance during the hearing. They are also there to explain and answer any questions that the victim might have.
