The Prince Edward County Victim-Witness Program

was developed to assist those who find themselves involved in the criminal justice system as victims or witnesses of a crime. This program, operated by the Office of the Commonwealth's Attorney, helps ensure that fair and compassionate treatment is given to all victims and witnesses.
