The 16th Judicial District Attorney's Victim- Witness Assistance Program has been in effect since 1994. Today we have a staff of six Victim Assistance Coordinators, two in each parish. The office acts as a liaison between the victim and the Criminal Justice System. Our mission is to ensure that all victims of crime are treated with dignity, respect, courtesy and sensitivity. Victims will be given the information, knowledge, assistance and opportunity necessary to participate actively and effectively within the criminal justice system.
