Victim Services are provided for victims and witnesses of crime and are governed by Chapter 6 of the Massachusetts General Laws. In addition, the Victim Services Coordinator serves as the NSO liaison with the Massachusetts Trial Courts and the Norfolk County District Attorney’s Office. The Victim Services Coordinator tracks offenders with Victim Certifications lodged through the Criminal History Systems Board, as well as coordinating the efforts of the victim advocates at our local courts.
The NCSO Victim Services Unit provides information, support, and assistance to witnesses, victims of crime, and their family members at no cost. NCSO provides these services to all Norfolk County crime victims, witnesses, and survivors without discrimination. Our Civil Rights Grievance Policy is available here.
