Counseling & Victims' Services Program

Counseling and Victims’ Services Program (CVS) supports victims of crime and the general community.

Our mission is to provide counseling, advocacy, education, and referral services that help liberate people from the effects of criminal harm, encourage healthy relationships, and promote a safer community.

The Counseling and Victims’ Services Program (CVS) supports victims of crime and the general community by offering counseling and support services to those affected by crime and trauma.

We serve victims of crime, members of our community, and approved justice-involved individuals (JII) who are on supervision in the county.

All of our services are free of charge. You do not have to be a crime victim to access counseling services.

Are you a victim/survivor of a crime?

If the case has NOT been resolved and you have questions or if you would like to be notified of upcoming hearings, please call: DA’s Office Victims’ Assistance: 503-846-8671

If you would like to know when someone is released from jail or prison:

Please use VISOR: visor.oregon.gov

VISOR is a free, computer-based service that will allow you to check on an offender’s custody status either in a county or state facility, and to register to receive automatic notification when an individual in custody (IIC) is released or transferred.

How do I use VISOR?

Register online at: visor.oregon.gov
Email VISOR: [email protected]
Leave a voicemail for VISOR: 888-749-8080

You may locate an IIC using basic information such as the name and booking number of the offender.

A series of computer prompts will assist you in locating an offender.
VISOR will give you the IIC’s custody information and invite you to register for free notification by phone call, email, or text if the status changes of the IIC
Conduct a statewide search of offenders on VISOR and register to receive notifications of a change in custody status of the offender

How do I register with VISOR?

You will need to provide:

A telephone number or email
Search for the IIC you want to register for
Choose a preferred notification delivery method

You may create an account in VISOR if you wish. Creating an account will allow you to choose how and when you receive notifications, it will allow you view recent notifications that were sent to you, allow you to change your personal information, and allow you to unregister.

You also have the option to remain anonymous when registering instead of creating an account.

Important VISOR Facts

VISOR will send you a notification when the IIC you registered for is released, transferred, escapes, or is deceased.
All registrations and personal information with VISOR are, and will remain, confidential.
You may register more than one phone number or email.

NOTE: Do not depend on the VISOR service as your only protection. If you feel that you may be at risk, take precautions as if the offender has already been released.
