Email the Webmaster Jessamine County Sheriff's Department Victims of violent crimes come from every ethnic, educational, social, religious and economic group. Because of the nature of the victimization process, victims of violent crimes are reluctant to seek help.
Silence is the criminals best friend.
We have to end the silence and change our attitudes toward violence. Violence effects us all, especially our children and families. Many victims are not aware of their rights or how the legal system can work to protect them. Many are reluctant to use the system that was originally designed to protect them. It is our intent tp provide assistance to victims of violent crimes as soon as possible after the crime occurs.
