"Our mission is to provide counseling, advocacy, education, and referral services that help liberate people from the effects of criminal harm,
encourage healthy relationships, and promote a safer community."
The Counseling and Victims’ Services Program (CVS) supports victims of crime and the general community by offering counseling and support services to those affected by crime and trauma.
We serve victims of crime, members of our community, and approved justice-involved individuals (JII) who are on supervision in the county.
All of our services are free of charge. You do not have to be a crime victim to access counseling services.

How do I register with VISOR?
You will need to provide:
- A telephone number or email
- Search for the IIC you want to register for
- Choose a preferred notification delivery method
You may create an account in VISOR if you wish. Creating an account will allow you to choose how and when you receive notifications, it will allow you view recent notifications that were sent to you, allow you to change your personal information, and allow you to unregister.
You also have the option to remain anonymous when registering instead of creating an account.
Important VISOR Facts
- VISOR will send you a notification when the IIC you registered for is released, transferred, escapes, or is deceased.
- All registrations and personal information with VISOR are, and will remain, confidential.
- You may register more than one phone number or email.
NOTE: Do not depend on the VISOR service as your only protection. If you feel that you may be at risk, take precautions as if the offender has already been released.
