Crime Victim Assistance Training

CVS Materials Order Form

The Office of the Attorney General provides training to advocates, liaisons, and victim coordinators to ensure that victims receive effective assistance in accessing the Crime Victims' Compensation Program. This agency also sponsors a biennial conference for the victim service community. For conference updates, please check the agency's Conference Page.


Presumptive Eligibility Process

The Crime Victims' Compensation Program uses the Presumptive Eligibility (PE) process to better serve crime victims and their families. Completion of this workshop allows advocates, trained by the OAG, to work directly with victims to gather the necessary documentation in order to submit a complete application. Having a complete application streamlines the eligibility process and speeds our response to victims. This training focuses on eligibility requirements and is best suited for advocates working directly with victims.
