Criminal Justice Program
Beacon of Hope Crisis Center works collaboratively with our law enforcement partners to best serve victims of crime.
Our victim advocates work with law enforcement to follow up on domestic violence and sexual assault cases. We also educate victims about their rights, help them connect with law enforcement for reporting, and provide support in navigating the criminal justice system.

Our Criminal Justice advocates are dual trained in domestic violence and sexual assault. They work with our law enforcement partners to ensure victims are provided with advocacy services. Our advocates follow up with victims on incident reports or direct referrals from our partners. When needed, we can arrange for advocacy accompaniment in partnership, ready to assist victims. We offer safety, education, and support to victims. We educate victims about their rights and the criminal justice system, when they want to report new incidents of abuse to law enforcement or to connect with the officer overseeing their case, and provide support in navigating the criminal justice system. We help to bridge the gap between law enforcement and the community.
We also ensure that officers who respond to domestic violence and sexual assault calls are also educated about trauma-informed care, victim blaming, and how to connect victims to our agency for services via training provided by our agency. We are an ILEA-certified agency, permitted to provide domestic violence and sexual assault training and credits for completing training to law enforcement. We help to equip our law enforcement partners with the tools and knowledge to serve victims of crime. Together, we help to intervene and save lives.
If you are a victim who would like to report domestic violence or sexual assault but need help in doing so, please contact our crisis line at 317-731-6140 to speak with an advocate today or submit an inquiry via our contact page.
