The Prosecuting Attorneys Association of Michigan's Victim Services Training Unit will present a program on "Changes to Crime Victim Compensation in Michigan" Wednesday, July 19, from 1 to 3:30 p.m. at the Royal Oak Police Department, 450 E. 11 Mile Rd. in Royal Oak.
The PAAM VSTU is hosting a series of regional, in person, partial day trainings about Michigan's crime victim compensation program. These training sessions are geared to victim advocates in prosecuting attorneys' offices and the Michigan Attorney General's Office. County prosecutors, assistant prosecutors, and attorneys general are welcome to attend.
Effective August 12, Michigan's Crime Victim Compensation Statute will welcome momentous changes to its benefits, definitions of eligibility, and award limits. The Crime Victim Compensation team will provide the in-person training in Royal Oak on the statute enhancements to come later this summer. This presentation will look into the coming new changes which will impact victim compensation claims and benefits.
