In 1992, the people of Colorado voted to amend the state’s constitution with the passage of the Victim Rights Act (VRA).
“Any person who is a victim of a criminal act or such person’s designee, legal guardian, or surviving immediate family members if such person is deceased, shall have the right to be heard when relevant, informed and present at all critical states of the criminal justice process.”
The VRA ensures that the District Attorney’s Office and other stakeholders in the criminal justice system treat victims of crime with fairness, respect, dignity and that they are free from intimidation, harassment, and abuse.

Restitution in criminal cases is court-ordered payment from a person convicted of a crime to the victim(s) they harmed for their out-of-pocket losses. Using the Victim Impact Statement submitted to our office, the court can determine if the defendant should be ordered to pay the victim for damages suffered as a result of the crime committed. Learn more on our Restitution page.
The Crime Victim Compensation program provides victims of violent crime with funds to pay for medical care, mental health support, loss of income, residential repairs, cleaning services and burial expenses. Learn more on our Victim Compensation page.
There are numerous government and non-profit organizations across the First Judicial District that provide a variety of services to victims of crime. See some of our local partners on our Community Support page.
