Partner agencies coordinate services within their statutory authorities. 5. Criminal justice proceedings continue independently while coordinated support is provided." Key partners: County - CVSO, District Attorney, Sheriff's Office (Patrol & Corrections), Circuit Court, Public Health; State - WDVA VORP, DOC Probation & Parole; Federal - VA Veterans Justice Outreach and Veterans Health Administration; Community - municipal law enforcement and nonprofits.
