Office of the Crime Victims' Ombudsman

Created in 1994, the Office of the Crime Victims' Ombudsman (CVO) in the South Carolina Office of Executive Policy and Programs ensured that victims of crime are served justly, equitably and fairly by the South Carolina Criminal Justice System and its victim service organizations. Additionally, the CVO through its Office of Victim Services and Education provided oversight of training, education and certification for victim service providers.

Effective July 1, 2017, by Act 96 of the 2017 Legislative Session, the General Assembly transferred the Office of the Crime Victims’ Ombudsman to the Office of the Attorney General’s South Carolina Crime Victim Services Division.
