Victims rights training
set for Loudoun
Several Virginia counties are sending people to Loudoun County Thursday and Friday to train as directors of new victim-witness programs.
The growing national movement to assist victims and witnesses of crimes began here in 1978 when thenCommonwealth Attorney Thomas Horne and Irene Wodell, Loudoun’s Victim-Witness Program director, applied for and received a federal grant.
This week she is training other people to do the job she does here.
While Wodell is frequently in demand to train others, she gives the credit for the success of Loudoun’s program to the 44 volunteers.
In fact, they received a big pat on the back during their annual luncheon sponsored by Xerox Training Center April 19.
“I brag about Loudoun County... I’m proud Virginia has a program like Loudoun County’s,” said guest speaker Richard N. Harris, director of the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services.
“The legislature is behind you 190 percent,” he added.
