Madison County Victim/Witness Program 

VICTIM/WITNESS PROGRAM SERVICES 

The Victim/Witness Program is located in the office of the Madison County Commonwealth's Attorney. Our goal is to make sure crime victims and witnesses receive fair and compassionate treatment while participating in the Criminal Justice System. Victims and witnesses have a very important role in the prosecution of cases. We know this process can be frightening and frustrating, as many victims and witnesses are not familiar with the Criminal Justice System. We are here to make this experience easier for you and to support you through the entire process.
