Northern Arizona Center Against Sexual Assault (NACASA) Services
- Medical/Forensic Exams (Code R Kits) by trained Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners ( SANEs) in a victim-friendly setting. We only conduct a medical/forensic exam if law enforcement authorizes it to be conducted. STD Preventative Medications / Emergency Contraception would be provided as an option.
- All other assistance that Victim/Witness Services provides (see summary above)
- We currently refer out to the County Health Department, Primary Care Physician, Fronske or Planned Parenthood to do medical exams/STD prophylaxis/emergency contraception if the victim chooses not to report. Those agencies will not do evidence collection.
- Contacting NACASA will not result in a police report unless the (adult) victim wishes to report. Refer clients to NACASA who want information about what is required to make a report or who is in need of advocacy services.
Victim Witness Services
- Crisis response after hours
We are open Monday-Friday 8:00am-5:00pm, closed during the noon hour.
If you have an emergency and need to speak to a victim advocate after hours please call NAU Police Department dispatch at 928-523-3611 or Flagstaff Police Department dispatch at 928-774-1414 and ask them to page an advocate to call you back. You will not be required to give anything more than you first name and a phone number at which you can be reached.
- On-going criminal justice advocacy and resource referrals
A victim advocate can provide ongoing support by explaining the investigation process, criminal court process and Arizona Crime Victims’ Rights as well as assisting a victim in implementing those rights. The advocate will also make appropriate resource referrals bases on victim needs that are presented.
- Crime Victim Compensation Benefits
This program can pay for crime related medical costs, funeral expenses, counseling and work loss.
Temporary shelter may be provided for the pet of a domestic violence victim who is fleeing the abuse and going into shelter.
