Domestic Violence Unit
An investigator is assigned to investigate and follow up on incidents of Domestic violence involving both juveniles and adults. The unit meets with representatives from the prosecutor’s office, Child Protective Service (CPS) and advocates of various community organizations in order to foster cooperation between agencies when investigating crimes and providing referral services.
VICTIM ASSISTANCE
The Vanderburgh County Prosecutor’s Office has established a victim assistance program. While the criminal justice system cannot undo the damage done to crime victims, the Prosecutor’s Office is dedicated to providing information and assistance in order to minimize the unpleasant effects of a difficult situation. Because victim and witness participation is vital to pursuing any criminal matter, the Victim/Witness Assistance Program considers your input and opinions essential in bringing criminals to justice. With a cooperative effort from the victim, witnesses, and the Prosecutor’s Office, they will more effectively prosecute those who have violated the law and provide valuable services to those who have been adversely affected by crime.
