Local Help for Crime Victims

Victim advocates throughout the State can help victims apply for compensation and learn about the criminal justice system. There are 59 Victim Witness Assistance Centers — one in each county and one in the City of Los Angeles — that work directly with the California Victim Compensation Program (CalVCP) in assisting victims. In addition, CalVCP has 21 joint powers agreements with 20 counties and the city of Los Angeles that assist in processing claims. For the Victim Witness Assistance Center nearest you, please select a county.
