​

The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office Victim Services Unit is a combination child advocacy center and victim/witness program. The Sheriff's Office recognizes the importance for effective assistance to innocent victims in our county and in an effort to provide these core-level victims services, our Victim Services location opened their doors in 1991. 

Our Victim Services location is designed to be a temporary, non-threatening, friendly environment so all victims, especially children, can feel safe during the interview process. Victim Services also helps Victims to stay informed at the center of the criminal justice process.  

Grants, 5% fine money, and private donations fund the services of Victim Services. Our agency is state accredited through the Children's Advocacy Center of Georgia (CACGA).

​

 

The Victim Services staff includes:

~ Sgt. Yazmen K. Blandenburg, Director

 ~ Brittany Johnson , Victim Witness Coordinator

~ Christina Peterman, Victim Services Secretary

​

 

 

In an effort to help our victims heal from this abuse, MCSO Victim Services has secured funds through a grant that provides counseling and therapy sessions at no cost to the victim.
