RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT a Resolution to proclaim April 2-8, 2017 as National Crime Victims’ Rights Week in promotion of victims’ rights and to recognize crime victims and those who advocate on their behalf.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None

BACKGROUND:

The National Campaign for Victims’ Rights led to President Ronald Reagan’s reforms on behalf of crime victims, his declaration of the first National Crime Victims’ Rights Week, and victims’ rights legislation and victim services. National Crime Victims’ Rights Week offers an opportunity to renew and strengthen our partnerships and teamwork, and to highlight the collaborative approaches that are integral to the U.S. Department of Justice’s mission. Through partnerships, organizations can mobilize their experience skills, resources, and stakeholders to help plan a powerful strategy to provide direct services to crime victims.
In commemoration of National Crime Victims’ Rights Week , the District Attorney’s Office will host a special ceremony on Friday, April 7, 2017 from 10:30 to noon in the BOS chambers located at 651 Pine Street, Martinez to recognize the following individuals:
