A Message to all the Citizens of Warren County:
Through generous funding of the New York State Crime Victim’s Board and the Warren County Board of Supervisors, the Crime Victim Assistance Program was established in 1997. The program has an experienced and trained victim specialist who helps crime victims through the criminal justice system. The crime victim specialist strives to ensure that the needs of crime victims in Warren County are served by providing coordinated services that address the physical, emotional and financial needs of victims and their family.
In Warren County we are fortunate to have a number of support groups and victims service agencies. I thank them for their tireless service and urge you to take advantage of their expertise.
Very truly yours,
Kate Hogan
District Attorney
