Our Goal
To enhance the involvement and safety of crime victims in the criminal justice system by providing direct services that lessen the impact of the crime, ensuring that all victims are treated respectfully and fairly, while supporting victim's important role through every step in the criminal justice system.
 
Our Center
The Victim Services Center combines three programs to provide comprehensive services to victims in Gallatin County. Located in the Law and Justice Center, the center is a warm, caring environment where victims can be safe and receive the assistance needed. The center opened in October 2000 and is a joint effort of Gallatin County, the City of Bozeman, the private non-profit organization HAVEN and the private, non-profit organization Guardian Ad Litem/CASA Program.
