Victim Assistance Coordinators / Witness Coordinators
Our
Victim Assistance and Witness Coordinators (VAC) work with victims
of crime in applying for Victim Compensation Funds through the Mississippi
Victims Compensation Program. They also assist victims and/or their
family members in seeking counseling or other services.
Additionally,
they coordinate witnesses for trials, schedule witness conferences,
and serve as a valuable point of contact for victims, their families,
and state witnesses concerning trial and hearing dates, as well
as other aspects of the prosecution.
If
you are the victim of a crime being prosecuted by our office, or
if you are a prosecution witness, you may contact the VAC in the
office which is handling the case with any questions or concerns.
We
also request that victims of crime, or their representative family
members, complete a Victim Impact Statement. These statements are
considered by prosecutors and the Court when making decisions regarding
every case.
