Denver County Court

Victim Information

The Constitution of the State of Colorado and the laws of the state guarantee certain rights to victims of crimes. Denver County Court Probation recognizes that victims have the right to be treated with fairness, dignity, and respect throughout the criminal justice process. Victims of crimes also have the right to be informed, present, and heard at critical stages of a probationer’s sentence.

If you are a victim of a case that has been sentenced to Denver County Court Probation and would like to enroll to receive notifications from probation, please contact the Victim Advocate. Once enrolled to receive notifications, you will receive notifications of all the critical stages of the defendant’s probation term. To learn more about the Colorado Victim Rights Act and the critical stages of a case sentenced to probation, please visit this resource provided by the Colorado Department of Public Safety.

For further information regarding your rights, victim notifications, or the case for which you are the listed victim, please contact the Victim Advocate, at (720) 913-8372 or email dccprobationva@denvercountycourt.org. The Victim Advocate is also available to provide referrals to support and resources appropriate to your needs and situation.
