California Crime Victims Coalition
The California Crime Victims Coalition, Inc., (CCVC) was formed in 2002 in response to correctional staff’s concerns regarding the growing number of violent attacks on correctional employees, fellow law enforcement officers and the violence in our communities. There was a void that many of us experienced as a result of being victimized. The CCVC has helped fill this void through a collaborative effort of all state employees.
