For many years, victims of crime were virtually invisible in the laws and policies that govern our justice systems.  To the extent victims of crime had a role in the justice system, it was narrow; to the extent victims had rights, they were few.  Victims often felt ignored and confused by the legal system that was supposed to be helping them.

Help Is Now Available...

The Victim Services Unit, sponsored by the San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office is committed to providing crime victims with access to comprehensive, quality services regardless of the nature of their victimization, age, race, religion, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, capability, or geographic location.  In addition, we seek to make the criminal justice system more understandable, accessible and humane.
