Every state, including Florida, has enacted victims' rights laws, compensation funds and victim service agencies. However, more than 50 percent of crimes are not reported and fewer than 20 percent of victims receive needed services due to the financial restraints of assisting agencies.
The Collier County Sheriff's Office, Florida State Attorney's Office, the Naples Shelter for Abused Women and Children, Project Help and other organizations are all committed to ensuring the rights of victims. For more information, visit http://www.crimevictims.gov/.
If you or a loved one are the victim of a crime, contact CCSO's non-emergency line at 239.252.9300 to file a report, or 911 if it is an emergency.
