Crime Victims and Public Safety
Crime victim and public safety 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.

The Office of Crime Victims Advocacy (OCVA) serves as a voice within government for the needs of crime victims in Washington State

Filing a Discrimination Complaint Against Federal Grant Programs
Any client, customer, program participant, or employee of an organization that receives funding passed through The Washington State Department of Commerce by the federal Department of Justice (DOJ) and other federal grant programs has the right to file a discrimination complaint. Any individual who feels that they have been discriminated against may file an external complaint.
- Commerce does not have the authority or the resources to investigate external complaints. External complaints may be filed with the DOJ, Human Rights Commission (HRC), Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
- The Commerce Human Resources Managing Director will act as the agency contact if individuals have additional questions regarding filing an external complaint.
