Glenn County Victim/Witness Program

Organization Description

The Office of the District Attorney is staffed by full-time employees consisting of 3 attorneys, 5 administrative staff, 1 Chief Investigator, and 3 victim/witness advocates, each of whom is dedicated to insuring that justice is served on behalf of the residents of Glenn County. Our mission is to prosecute criminal violations of law with integrity and to support and protect the rights of victims of crime within Glenn County.

Program Information

The Victim/Witness Program serves all victims/witnesses of interpersonal crime. Victims/witnesses may suffer from physical injury, disability, emotional trauma, etc. The aftermath of a crime may leave people feeling alone and confused. Our Victim advocates are here to help. An advocate may assist with crisis support, emergency safety and relocation needs, guidance through the criminal justice system, providing case updates and court accompaniment, safety planning, assistance with victim impact statements and help obtaining protection orders. Our advocates can apply on behalf of an eligible victim/witness for compensation from the California Victim’s Compensation Board to potentially receive assistance with counseling, medical bills, home security improvements, funeral costs, lost wages, relocation, and/or 40 sessions of therapy.
