A Message From Your Commonwealth's Attorney

As Commonwealth's Attorney for the City of Winchester, I am concerned that the victims and witnesses of crime are treated fairly and are respected throughout the criminal justice process. There will be times when the experience may be disruptive and frustrating to you. When you are a victim or witness your assistance and testimony are important. We need your help.

The Winchester Victim/Witness Program is here to provide you with support and information. Either through direct services or referrals the program is designed to assist you during the various steps of the case. The brochure is designed to provide you with some essential information as you begin this process. If you have additional questions or need assistance you should call the Victim/Witness Program at (540) 667-5770. Working together we can achieve a fair and just conclusion in the case in which you are involved. Your assistance is appreciated.
