Victim Assistance Program

The Eastlake Police Victims Assistance Program, started in 1989, was the first police-based victim assistance program in Ohio. The program has a full-time program director and full-time victim advocate, both certified through the Ohio Advocate network and/or the National Advocate Credentialing Program. Advocates strive to:

Provide immediate crisis intervention to victims at the police station, hospital or at the scene
Offer court accompaniment and assistance in obtaining protection orders
Notify victims of their rights and options
Assist victims with crime compensation forms, victim impact statements and the automated victim notification system application
Offer guidance, information and referral
Facilitate the Parent Project (a group for parents of strong-willed or out-of-control teens)
Conduct a Monday night support group for women who are in or have been in an unhealthy or abusive relationship

An advocate may be reached at 440-951-1400 (station) or 440-975-4252 (office), or by email.
