BVS - Restitution for Victims of Crime

Restitution is money ordered by the court to be paid to a victim as part of an offender's sentence.

It is money paid to a victim for the actual loss or damage resulting from crime. This is one way the offender can make up for the harm you have experienced.

• damage or loss to your property
• financial loss due to fraud
• financial loss or expenses due to a physical injury
• The expenses of temporary housing, food, childcare, transportation or moving out of the offender's household where the harm is to the offender's spouse or child.
• Financial loss due to unknowingly buying stolen property that has been returned to its lawful owner.

A Restitution Application form must be completed and returned to the investigating police officer or Prosecutor as soon as possible. You can also bring it to your local Victim Services Program to have them pass it along to the prosecution. This form will provide the Prosecutor with the necessary information to ask the Judge to order restitution if someone is found guilty.

BVS - Restitution for Victims of Crime is open Monday to Friday 8AM - 5PM; closed for lunch 12 - 1PM.
