Victim Notification Program

The goal of the 4th Judicial District Probation Department is to assure victims of crime are treated with fairness, respect, and dignity throughout the probation supervision of the offender. We recognize victims, their families, and their communities are important recipients of our services and have the right to be heard throughout the criminal justice process.

If a victim requests participation in the Victim Notification Program, the Victim Services Officer will provide notification of vital stages in the supervision of the offender and offer assistance with safety planning, obtaining protection orders, answering restitution questions, completion of the Victim Impact Statement, applying for Victim Compensation, and referrals to community-based service providers.

To request participation in the El Paso and Teller County Probation Department Victim Notification Program, please contact the Victim Services Officer listed below, or write to 4th Judicial District Probation at 270 S. Tejon Street, Suite W200, Colorado Springs, CO 80903.
