For over 20 years the Mohave County Attorney’s Office has been committed to serving and respecting the rights of crime victims. The Mohave County Attorney’s Victim/Witness Program is looking for enthusiastic volunteers to assist victims through the confusion and turmoil that often goes along with a traumatic event.
Our Crisis Response Team is a highly dedicated group of volunteers who work in conjunction with law enforcement to assist people with safety, emotional, practical, and social needs immediately following a traumatic event. This team operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week to provide immediate crisis intervention and on-scene victim assistance, emotional support, and information and referrals to our large network of community and private assistance providers. The Crisis Response Team will then hand the victim advocacy services off to our trained staff of Victim Advocates who will then help them to navigate through the often long and confusing criminal justice process.
Mohave County Attorney’s Victim/Witness Program will provide the crisis response training, the victim advocacy training and the computer software training in order for you to effectively and with compassion help victims of crime.
If you are interested in this rewarding experience, please contact Tiffany Barker at (928) 718-4967 or email Tiffany.Barker@mohavecounty.us. For a closer look at the services we provide, please visit our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/MohaveCountyVicWit/
