Mission Statement: Since 1974, the Cuyahoga County Witness/Victim Service Center has protected crime victims' rights to receive advocacy, information, and access to community services.

Overview: Ohio law provides victims with specific rights. The Witness/Victim Service Center promotes and preserves the rights of crime victims, including:

• The right to be treated with fairness, dignity, and respect
• The right to be informed concerning the criminal justice process
• The right to be heard in certain criminal court proceedings
• The right to protection from intimidation and harm
• The right to preservation of property and employment
• The right to referral to available community resources

Even if there is no criminal prosecution, there is information available to crime victims to address a variety of issues. The Witness/Victim Service Center assists crime victims' learning about available options and making informed decisions for themselves and their family.
