VICTIM ADVOCACY

About Victim Advocacy

At Baltimore Shomrim, we understand that the impact of crime extends far beyond the immediate incident, affecting individuals and families long after the event has occurred. Our Victim Advocacy initiative is rooted in compassion and support, aiming to provide comprehensive assistance to those who have been affected by crime within our community.
