Victim Awareness Month

 

Every April, we remember victims of crime knowing that trauma informed care for victims helps our communities.  With that in mind, the Division of Parole Supervision has two Victim Assistance Representatives and is in partnership with the Lincoln Police Department, Adult Probation Administration, the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services, and other providers to help those who have been victimized in our communities. 

In Parole, we utilize Evidence-Based Practices to change behaviors of justice-involved individuals to help reduce recidivism thereby helping to not create new victims.  Victim Assistance Representatives are a resource to community members, parole clients, staff, and their families for issues of victimization, such as domestic violence, assault, and property crimes.  They are also available to attend with and support community victims at parole hearings, take phone calls from victims of paroled individuals, and participate in Victim Offender Dialogues. 

Please contact the following Victim Assistance Representatives for assistance:  Andrea Wever, Specialized Parole Officer, 402-480-2744 (Cell), or Rachel Prescher, Omaha Parole Supervisor, 402-595-1831 (Office Phone) or 402-672-3900 (Cell).
