All Victim-Survivor feedback will be directed to the Assistant Chief (AC) of the Victim Services Division. The AC will conduct an initial review of feedback to determine if the feedback qualifies as a complaint. The AC will present a summary of feedback to the Chief of Victim Services Division on a weekly basis. Items that require immediate review will be brought to the attention of the Chief within 24 hours. If feedback is directed toward the performance and/or behavior of a VSD staff, Assistant District Attorney, or Paralegal the proper supervisor will be informed. All labor related compliant procedures and protections for staff will be followed. A response to the victim-survivor is required within 7-10 business days from the date the feedback is received. All feedback will be date stamped to ensure compliance with this requirement. It is the responsibility of the AC to ensure that follow up communication is completed.
