Three to Be Honored by Victims Group
In honor of National Crime Victims’ Rights Week, Community Services Programs will host a special awards banquet and luncheon today in Orange.
Community Services, a nonprofit organization, works with crime victims, witnesses and their families through its Victims Assistance Program.
Since 1984, it has given three awards--one each to the court system, law enforcement and a member of the Orange County anti-crime community--for helping others cope with violence.
This year’s honorees are:
* Sandy Truong, a marriage and family counselor at Western Medical Center-Santa Ana, for counseling victims of violence.
* Anaheim Police Det. Bill Boone, who works on sexual assault cases.
* The Orange County district attorney’s office’s family violence unit.
The luncheon is 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. today at the Orange County Medical Assn. Conference Center, 300 S. Flower St., in Orange. Information: (714) 756-0677.
