Domestic Violence Agency Members

Domestic Violence Agency Members are agencies or organizations that provide essential domestic violence crisis services (ex: 24/7 crisis line, emergency shelter, court advocacy, etc.). Advocates with these agencies are subject to the provision of the victim advocate privilege statute CRS 13-90-107 (1)(K).
