Request for the Office of County Administration, and other relevant County departments, to develop a centralized Harris County Crime Victim Navigation and Information Initiative using existing County resources where practicable; and to return to Commissioners Court on January 14, 2027, with implementation recommendations, an inventory of existing victim services, identified gaps in victim handoffs, and options for future improvements.
Harris County wants a centralized initiative to help crime victims navigate services, with recommendations due January 14, 2027.
Harris County Commissioners Court introduced a policy on September 29, 2026, asking the Office of County Administration and other county departments to build a centralized Crime Victim Navigation and Information Initiative. Using existing county resources, departments would map current victim services, find gaps in how victims are handed off between agencies, and return with recommendations to Commissioners Court by January 14, 2027.
If you or someone you know is a crime victim in Harris County, this policy could change how you find help and move between county services. It asks county offices to study and improve that process.
