Victim\u002FWitness staff countless hours providing hundreds of services to victims of crime each year.  Everyone is expected to do more with less.  The Victim\u002FWitness group is one of those units.  The advocates crucial responsibilities have increased over the years, providing victims with notification letters, keeping victims advised of current case status, making sure the victims have resources to aid and making sure they know their rights within and throughout the criminal justice process.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Confronted with all these challenges the Victim Witness Offices are facing, CSI has been able to work closely with the advocates through monthly meetings, to find out what their needs were and help them with technology aids to make the most of their time and their staff to provide the most essential functions of their unit.  So we asked them what their biggest hurdles were and CSI came up with the Victim Witness Suite allowing them to generate their letters automatically and track the services they are provided.  The suite also allows them to compile their mandatory reporting requirements to the state by a push of a button.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr> If you meet anyone from the VW Unit – there first question to you is “How can I help you? It was the pleasure of CSI to ask the VW Coordinators “How can CSI help you?” in our monthly meetings.  Some of the most recent developments for Victim Witness technology are: \u003Cul>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>Victim Witness Smartphone App\u003C\u002Fb> – This allows victims to access our VW portal on their phone to access all their case information\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>Victim Witness Mapping feature for the Smartphone App\u003C\u002Fb> – This allows the user to look up resource agencies along with providing directions to the facility they select\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Cb>Child Advocacy Center Module\u003C\u002Fb> – This is a standalone Module that also integrates with the Sex Crimes Submodule in the InfoShare Investigations Module.  This allows the Prosecutor’s Offices to send cases to the Child Advocacy Center module for the quickest response time as well track and provide required statistics, includes sub module for CAC in investigations\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>CSI Technology is proud to assist the Victim Witness Coordinator’s with their critical missions and help them to maximize the time they can spend helping victims.\u003Cimg src='..\u002Fimages\u002Fnews\u002Fnews-2019-0127-1.jpg'\u002F>","news-2019-0127.jpg","01\u002F27\u002F2019","The-World-of-Victim-Advocacy-Advances-in-Victim-Witness-Technology",36,3,"The World of Victim Advocacy: Advances in Victim Witness Technology",[12],{"name":13},"vw","event",[16,21,25,29],{"id":17,"title":18,"cover":19,"type":20},"Victim-Witness-Services-in-the-Covid-19-Era","Victim\u002FWitness Services in the Covid-19 Era","news-2020-0428.jpg","news",{"id":22,"title":23,"cover":24,"type":14},"Coping-with-COVID-Services-for-Victims-and-Witnesses","Coping with COVID: Services for Victims and Witnesses","news-2020-0423.jpg",{"id":26,"title":27,"cover":28,"type":14},"National-Crime-Victims-Service-Awards","National Crime Victims' Service Awards","news-2019-0412.jpg",{"id":30,"title":31,"cover":32,"type":20},"InfoShare-Victim-Witness-Suite-Brings-a-New-Set-of-Features","InfoShare® Victim Witness Suite Brings a New Set of Features","news-2017-0209.jpg",1794192962087]
