Victim Witness

If you are a crime victim, you are suddenly faced with navigating an unfamiliar criminal justice system because of circumstances outside your control. The Ada County Prosecutor’s Office is staffed with Victim-Witness Coordinators who are dedicated to assisting those affected by crime. Victim-Witness Coordinators are dedicated to providing services, support and education to victims of crime. We are committed to ensuring that victims are treated with fairness and respect and that victims receive information and assistance for relevant services.

Victim services may include accompanying crime victims to court; notification of significant court events; referral to appropriate support services; help determining and requesting restitution and the return of property; providing information about the conviction, sentencing, imprisonment and release of an offender. The Victim-Witness Coordinator works closely with the assigned deputy prosecutor to ensure that a crime victim is kept apprised about any developments in the criminal case.

There are many different resources and services available to crime victims. The Ada County Prosecutor’s Office provides some of these resources, while other agencies in our community provide many additional services. Please refer to the left of this page for links to some of these services. If you have any questions about our services, please call our office at (208) 287-7700.
