Major Case Victims Unit (MCVU)
The Major Case Victims Unit (MCVU) serves victims of unsolved homicides and violent felony offenses. In the cases of unsolved homicides, a victim specialist acts as a liaison between family members and the detectives who are reinvestigating the unsolved cases and provides support and education. In the cases of violent felonies, victim specialists, ensure that survivors have information concerning their rights as victims of crime, access to on-going support, case updates, and referrals to government and community based resources.
