The people who work behind the scenes to advocate for the victims of crime do so largely in the background and help countless victims obtain justice and proper reimbursement through the court system. Once a year, the dedicated team at the Allegany County Crime Victims Advocates Office take time to honor the case workers, sheriff’s deputies, police officers, and prosecutors.
