La Paz County crime victim board schedules June 18 public meeting
Crime victims in La Paz County can recover lost wages, medical care and other direct losses, and the board met June 18 in Parker.
La Paz County’s Crime Victim Compensation Board met June 18 at 9:30 a.m. in the La Paz County Attorney’s Office at 1320 Kofa Avenue in Parker, a public session posted under Arizona’s open-meeting law. For victims and families, the board sits at the point where a crime-related loss can move into a claim for compensation, restitution, and other assistance.
Arizona’s victim compensation and assistance fund is administered by the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission and is meant to support programs that compensate and assist victims of crime. The Arizona Attorney General’s Office says victims should contact their county prosecutor’s victim-services program for help with restitution and compensation, while Arizona Judicial Branch materials say restitution can cover lost or damaged property, lost wages, travel for court, medical treatment, mental-health treatment, and other direct financial losses. In practical terms, that means a victim or surviving family member may need to ask how to start a claim, what records to bring, and which expenses fit state rules.
The notice for the June 18 meeting cited A.R.S. § 38-431.02, the state’s open-meeting-notice law, which requires advance public notice so residents know when and where a public body will meet. La Paz County says notices for the board are posted in the glass case outside the county attorney’s office on Kofa Avenue, on the county attorney’s website, and at the La Paz County Justice Court at 1105 Arizona Avenue in Parker. The county attorney’s office says it has served La Paz County since 1983.
The June 18 posting was part of a steady run of board activity in 2025 and 2026, with notices posted for January 22, March 19, April 17, and June 18, 2026, and earlier minutes showing the board’s work as an ongoing county function. For residents who could not attend in person, the next step is to follow future agenda postings and minutes through the county’s public records, or to start with the county prosecutor’s victim-services program for guidance on compensation and restitution.
