Crime Victim Assistance

About the Crime Victim Assistance

The mission of Victim/Witness Assistance is to ensure that victims of crime are treated with fairness, respect, and dignity by providing comprehensive support and services throughout the criminal justice process. These efforts aim to lessen the impact of crime on victims while supporting the prosecution in the pursuit of justice.

District Attorney Victim/Witness Specialists

• Offer information, intervention, and community referrals to victims and witnesses in cases where a perpetrator has been identified and charges have been filed
• Act as link between the victim and DA, ensuring that the DA is informed about the wishes of the victim for the outcome of the case and the impact of the crime on the victim
• Ensure that the victim is aware of the DA’s plans regarding the direction of the case
• Provide notification and preparation of victims and witnesses who have been subpoenaed for court appearances
• Accompany victims and witnesses to court when needed

The District Attorney’s Office also administers the Boulder County Victim Compensation Program, which may provide financial assistance for eligible expenses, as well as the Restitution Program, which reimburses victims for other losses.
