Justice isn’t served until the crime victims are!!!!

A Victim Advocate may be able to help with the emotional aftermath of crime as well as provide assistance on filing protection orders, getting emergency safe housing, filling compensation claims and navigating the criminal justice process. An advocate is available to answer any questions or concerns you may have. Sometimes just having someone to confide in and listen is helpful. An advocate can help you to find the appropriate source for help.

If you or your family members are innocent victims of a violent crime, financial assistance may be available. The Ohio Victims of Crime Compensation Program helps victims with certain out-of-pocket expenses caused when people are physically injured, emotionally harmed, or killed as a result of violent criminal acts. Program costs are paid entirely by criminal fines and not by Ohio’s taxpayers. The Geauga County Sheriff’s Office Victim Services Program can assist you with applications and further information.
