Our Mission
The Victim/Witness Assistance Program strives to reduce the trauma of a crime by empowering and assisting crime victims, witnesses and significant others in reconstructing their lives through advocacy, support, information and referrals.
Your Rights
In Pennsylvania, as a victim of a crime, you are afforded certain rights under the law. Victim/Witness Assistance Program is here to ensure that those rights are protected and enforced throughout your time in the criminal justice system.
Your Privacy
We believe in your right to privacy.
You are important to us and we respect your privacy. You can be assured that your name and information will be held in the strictest confidence.
