Office of Crime Victims Advocacy
Crime victim programs work with governments, community-based organizations and individuals to reduce the impact of crime, substance abuse, and violence. Our programs use advocacy, prevention, education, treatment and law enforcement to stop violence, substance abuse, and their social impacts so that Washington’s communities are the best places to work and live.
Governor Jay Inslee has proclaimed April 24-30, 2022 as Crime Victims’ Rights Week in Washington State. Read his full proclamation here and join OCVA in our continued work to ensure “Rights, access, and equity, for all victims.”
