Hunterdon County’s Victim Witness unit in the Prosecutor’s Office, which provides support services for victims of violent crime, will benefit from a Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) grant approved by the Hunterdon County Board of Commissioners, at the April 6th meeting.
The Board of County Commissioners’ Deputy Director, John E. Lanza, stated, “The grant provides funding for an incredibly important program.
The Prosecutor’s Office is generally associated with the investigation and prosecution of criminals and crimes, but where there are crimes, there are also victims. And those are people that deserve attention, support, and advocacy, which is provided by the county’s victim witness unit, funded by this grant with a county budget match.”
