Crime Victim Compensation
If you or someone you know is a victim of crime, certain expenses may qualify for Crime Victim Compensation coverage. This program may help pay out-of-pocket medical expenses, lost earnings, funeral bills, counseling, or other expenses for people who have been harmed as the direct result of a crime.
VOICES4 Hotline
Michigan's VOICES4 sexual assault, domestic violence and human trafficking hotline has trained advocates available to listen 24/7/365. The hotline is confidential. This means that we will not share your information. It is also anonymous. This means that the information you do share with us, stays with us.
Track-Kit
Track-Kit™ is Michigan’s secure, cloud-based sexual assault evidence kit tracking system. Survivors can track their kit and access additional information through the survivor portal. Track-Kit™ is free for survivors, available 24/7, and can be accessed using any device that has internet access.
MI-VINE
MI-VINE is a free, confidential 24-hour service that provides timely access to offender data for crime victims, their families, and the general public. Users can register to be notified of changes in an offender’s status, such as release, transfer, or escape. This service is available 24 hours a day online, over the phone, or by email.
SAFE Response
Did you know that if you are a victim of sexual assault, you can get a forensic exam without being billed for it? Sexual assault victims should never be billed for or pay for the medical forensic exam, and a hospital, doctor or nurse cannot require a sexual assault victim to talk to the police in order to get a medical forensic examination.
Address Confidentiality Program
The Address Confidentiality Program (ACP) is administered by the Michigan Department of Attorney General and conceals the addresses of individuals at risk of being harmed from being located by their perpetrators through public records and provides an official designated/substitute address.
