The Victims Services Section develops, coordinates, and funds victim/witness programs, sexual assault crisis centers, and programs that combat violence against women, including the V-STOP grant program and the Virginia Domestic Violence Victim Fund. The section offers many services, training, and resources to victim service providers, law enforcement officials, allied professionals, prosecutors, and other local government officials.

If you are a victim of crime, you can contact the DCJS INFO-Line at 1-888-887-3418 for assistance. The INFO-LINE provides victims of crime with information and support.

Callers will be informed of their rights as victims under Virginia’s Crime Victim and Witness Rights Act and will receive additional information, support, and referrals to programs and resources in their communities.
