National Crime Victims’ Service Awards Ceremony

This year, OVC will not host an awards ceremony during NCVRW. We remain committed to supporting all victims of crime and those that tirelessly work to support their needs, and we look forward to continuing to recognize and honor the rights and needs of crime victims through the NCVRW Candlelight Vigil and events across the country this April.
