The 19th Judicial Circuit Victim Rights Coalition is comprised of victim rights advocates from the State Attorney's Office, the Sheriff's Offices from St. Lucie County, Okeechobee County, and Indian River County, and the Port St. Lucie and Fort Pierce Police Departments. 4. The 19th Victim Rights Coalition increases community awareness of victim issues and focuses on the National Victims' Rights Week on a local level. 5. We must work to ensure fair treatment of all crime victims, ordering and enforcing victim restitution, and notifying victims of their right to compensation and services, thereby giving hope to victims that the system and society will work to restore their dignity and respect their needs and rights. 6. The 19th Judicial Circuit Victim Rights Coalition resolved that our individual and collective efforts reflect the dreams we dare to have of a nation where no crime victim goes unserved, and every crime victim is afforded rights and services and fair treatment by the justice system and by society.
