LaCross retires from Prosecutor’s office

Life experiences have a way of propelling people into their chosen occupation.

So it was with Laurie LaCross, who is stepping down this month as victim’s advocate for the county Prosecutor’s office.

Victim advocates in Michigan provide crucial support under the Crime Victim’s Rights Act of 1985. They assist with navigating the criminal justice system, offering crisis intervention, safety planning, and help with victim compensation, while ensuring victims are treated with dignity and informed of their rights to attend proceedings and seek restitution.
