Victim/Witness Information

If you are reading this, chances are you or someone close to you has been the victim of a violent crime. We recognize that such an experience can be traumatic and my have a substantial impact on your life. Going through the criminal justice system can be confusing and at times, intimidating. The District Attorney Victim Services Program exists to support and help victims through the justice process. The program is made up of social workers who advocate for victims, who help victims understand the court process and accompany them through court proceedings, assess victim needs, and provide referrals or assistance in obtaining other support services. It is our desire to minimize your concerns as much as possible.

Who is Eligible?

Anyone who is a victim of a person crime, especially those being prosecuted by the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office, is eligible for victim services. We customarily work with victims of sexual assault, child physical or sexual abuse, and domestic violence. We also work with family members of homicide victims and for similar cases in juvenile court. Services are not limited solely to these crimes, however, and there is no cost for services.

CAMP HOPE

The Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office was set to hold the first ever Camp HOPE America-Utah this summer, a week long summer camp for children who have experienced trauma as the victims of crime. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in order to ensure the safety and well-being of our campers, that week long camp has been cancelled. In its place, we are excited to be hosting day camps for small groups of campers. Five children at a time will be taken to participate in the activities that would have made traditional camp so special such as canoeing, horseback riding, archery, hiking, and fishing. These small groups will go out once a week, five weeks in a row, and still have the chance to benefit from Camp HOPE America’s curriculum that is designed to promote healing, hope, and resiliency. All of this will be done while maintaining social distancing and safety guidelines. We hope to be able to offer a traditional summer camp in future years, but for the time being, we are grateful to be able to bring some joy and hope to these children in a safe and responsible way.
