Creekmore to address Ark. Victims Assistance Academy

Rep. Dawn Creekmore will give the closing address at the graduation ceremony of the Arkansas Victim Assistance Academy at UALR today. 47 Arkansans from all walks of life -- law enforcement, shelters and hospitals -- participated in the week long course that was sponsored by the U.S. Office of Justice Programs, the Office for Victims of Crimes, and the UALR Department of Criminal Justice. Tuesday night, Rep. Creekmore spoke about legislative trends in victims rights, legislation that she plans to introduce during the next session, and how victim service advocates can get involved.
