Victim Services in St. Mary'S Boosted by State Grant
Jaymi Sterling has been the state's attorney in Mary's County, Md., since 2015, and in that time, she's secured more than $1.4 million in grants to improve services for crime victims.
Now, a $586,299 grant from the Governor's Office of Crime Prevention and Policy will allow the office to add eight new positions to its Victim Services Division, including a director, a deputy director, five victim witness advocate coordinators, and a senior legal assistant, reports the Mary's County Sun.
"These grants are vital to support the core functions, operations, and initiatives of our office in providing critical programs and services to crime victims," Sterling says in a press release.
"These initiatives are key to the division's ability to effectively assist those impacted by crime."
St.
Mary's County is one of 18 counties in Maryland to receive funding under the state's Victims of Crime Act, per the Sun.
Victims of crime in the state receive a range of services, from free legal help to support after a rape or murder to help with mental health issues and access to job training and other support, per the Sun.
