Victim Services

 

If you or someone you love is a victim of crime, you have rights and you
can get help.

Help is available in the form of compensation and assistance. Compensation programs reimburse victims for crime-related expenses, such as medical costs, mental health counseling, funeral and burial costs, and lost wages or loss of support. Assistance programs provide a range of services, including crisis intervention, counseling, emergency shelter, criminal justice advocacy, and emergency transportation.

The following are offered by the U.S. Department of Justice:
