VICTIM
/ WITNESS ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
The
Victim/Witness Assistance Program of the Thirty-Fifth Judicial
District Attorney's Office ensures that victims and witnesses
of crime are treated with dignity, respect, courtesy and sensitivity,
and that the rights, as provided by Louisiana Law are honored
and protected.
Our
goal with the Victim/Witness Assistance Program is to:
- Provide
information on the criminal justice process to victims and
witnesses
- Provide
information on the availability of public or private programs
which provide counseling, treatment or support to crime
victims and co-ordinate and assist victims in receiving
the necessary services
- Assist
victims to prepare the victim/witness for court proceedings
and testimony.
