Victim/Witness Assistance

The Prosecutor’s Victim Witness Program is designed to offer support to victims and witnesses of crime through the criminal court system.

• Step-by-step explanations about the criminal court process and what to expect in the months ahead
• Notification about case developments
• Emotional support through the court process, including accompaniment to meetings and court proceedings
• Assistance with restitution during prosecution for property loss or damage resulting from crime
• Referrals to other community services such as local shelters, the domestic abuse court advocate, group or personal counseling providers and area support groups

• Assistance in registering for victim notification through the V.I.N.E. electronic notification system and/or the Arkansas Department of Corrections (ADC)
