Description
The Mohave County Attorney Victim Services Division is a Goverment Organization whose sole purpose is to advocate for Victims of Crime. Our organization heads a Crisis Intervention Team. This team is made up of volunteers who respond directly to the crime scene. We are dispatched out by Law Enforcement. Once on scene it is our duty to assist the victim anyway we can. We provide support and compassion during what is possibly the hardest time in the victims life.
The Mohave County Attorney Victim Services Division also had a Volunteer Court Advocacy Program. Our Volunteers attend court with or on behalf of the victim. The Judicial Process can be a long and drawn out process. Having our Volunteers advocate and accompany the victims gives the victims a sense of reassurance. Reassurance that they are not alone in this process.
