The Kentucky State Police are unveiling a new Victim
Advocacy Program today at the KSP post in Elizabethtown intended to provide
support for crime victims.
A total of 16 advocates are being hired and trained to
assist crime victims as well as those involved with critical incidents by
providing support during and after a crisis. Funding is set to come from the
Victims of Crime Act and partnerships with various statewide agencies.
Details of the statewide initiative are set to be released
today, according to the Justice and Public Safety Cabinet.
