Dear residents and visitors to the Castle Shannon Borough Police webpage,
According to the US Department of Justice/Office of Justice Programs, April 18-24, 2010 is set aside as National Crime Victims Rights Week. http://ovc.ncjrs.gov/ncvrw.
This excerpt is from one of many brochures and pamphlets available to victims and advocates for victims at USDOJ/OJP/Office for Victims of Crime…
“Crime victimization is a frightening and unsettling experience for the millions of Americans whose lives it touches each year. As recently as 1972,
almost no services were available to help crime victims or their survivors repair the damage to their lives and property or contend with the traumatic and frustrating ordeal of
prosecuting the offender. Today, however, due largely to the dedicated efforts of advocates, lawmakers, and crime victims, a tremendous range of services and resources
is available to help victims obtain justice and heal. The Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), the U.S. Department of Justice agency that advocates for the fair treatment of crime victims, wants you to know that if you or someone you love is a victim of crime—you have rights, you can get help…”
The Center for Victims of Violence and Crime (CVVC) in Allegheny County provides victim advocacy and support services, crisis intervention, counseling and community education programs that address the causes and impacts of all types of violence and crime. Their mission is to help individuals, families and communities survive the trauma and receive the help and healing they need.
Whether you or someone you know has been a victim, or you just want to learn more, rely on these agencies to offer caring, competent assistance, information and support.
The CVVC currently serves all of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.
For additional information and resources, please visit our “Important Links” page on the bottom right side of this site.
In addition to the agencies listed above, you will find information about PA SAVIN (PA Victim Notification Service), the PA Criminal Court Docket Information (to track adjudication of offenders through the courts) and additional information about victims’ rights.
As always, please feel free to contact the police department with questions or comments.
