BACKGROUND
The California Victim Compensation Board (CalVCB), has contracted with Napa County since 1998 to assist with restitution recovery. CalVCB, provides funding to the District Attorney's Office to offset costs of a Paralegal to pursue restitution from convicted individuals, the funds collected reimburse the State of California's Victims of Crimes Fund. The Napa County District Attorney's Office was the first program created in the State of California and has been so successful that Napa County is being used as a model throughout the State. Napa County has been funded since 1998 and has maintained funding even when Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board contracts have been cut or discontinued in other counties. This reflects Napa County's continued success.
