Arraignment Victim Liaison

The Bronx District Attorney’s Office is seeking a well-qualified staff whose diverse backgrounds reflect an ability to serve the 1.4 million members of the Bronx County community and to pursue a safer Bronx through fair justice. The Crime Victims Assistance Bureau (CVAB), within the Special Victims Division, provides supportive services to victims of crime in the Bronx.

The AVL will work as part of a team and will work closely with other members of CVAB, the Office’s Domestic Violence (DV) Bureau, the Bronx Family Justice Center (BxFJC), and the EVE Project Director at the Mayor’s Office to Combat Domestic Violence.
