Victim and Trial Support Services
The Victim/Witness Specialists work directly with the prosecuting attorneys in preparing cases for trial. They make the initial contact with the victims of violent crime to assess any special needs the victim might have. Their work also includes setting up witness interviews, making travel and lodging arrangements, placing witnesses "on-call," educating witnesses to the workings of the criminal justice system, coordinating the witnesses to appear in court and notifying all interested parties of the final trial verdict. Victim/Witness Specialists are key people in making sure a victim knows the status of his/her case.
