Crown Attorney's Office

Ontario's Domestic Violence Court (DVC) Program is the most extensive DVC program in Canada. It facilitates the prosecution of domestic assault cases and early intervention in abusive domestic situations, provides better support to victims and increases offender accountability.

In a DVC program, teams of specialized personnel, including police, Crown Attorneys, Victim/Witness Assistance Program (VWAP) staff, probation services, Partner Assault Response (PAR) program staff and community agencies, work together to ensure priority is given to the safety and needs of domestic assault victims and their children.

As part of the Kitchener Domestic Violence Program, an Assistant Crown Attorney with specialized domestic violence training has an office at the Family Violence Project.
