CRIME VICTIM SERVICES
Crime Victim Services exists to help our community thrive. We do this by supporting victims of violence and crime in Allen and Putnam counties so they can prevail over the trauma of their experience. Our goal is to renew their dignity and offer support through safety, healing, justice and restitution. For more than 40 years Crime Victim Services has led the way in these efforts. Today, we offer 10 distint programs that serve thousands of people each year. We do not only encourage victims on their individual journeys, we also work at prevention and outreach. We work diligently alongside justice officials and community leaders to prevent crime, assist law enforcement in preserving domestic tranquility, and provide all victims with equitable access to restorative and justice services.
