Victim/Witness Unit of Sarpy County

Established in 1981 as a non-profit organization under the auspices of the Sarpy County Attorney's Office, the Victim/Witness Unit of Sarpy County is a program set up to aid victims of crime who are unaware of the avenues of assistance open to them. The majority of the crime victims are not knowledgeable of the procedures necessary to obtain assistance, or they are too traumatized or injured to cope with the problem.

The Victim/Witness Unit is a free public service offering information, practical assistance, and counseling referrals to victims of crime in the Sarpy County area.

Reminder: These increased court costs of $95.00 will also apply if you choose to take a STOP class for your ticket to be dismissed.

Similarly, if your ticket for no registration or insurance is dismissed, you will still need to pay court costs for that dismissal.

As always, the best way to avoid these cost increases is to slow down and keep your vehicle paperwork up to date.

🚦 A Reminder That Safe Driving Saves More Than Money 🚦

Beginning July 1, 2026, traffic court costs have increased from $49 to $95.

⚠️ Keep in mind: Court costs are separate from the fine associated with the traffic violation, meaning a citation could cost even more than before.

The easiest way to avoid the increased costs?

✅ Slow down.
✅ Buckle up.
✅ Put the phone away.
✅ Obey traffic laws.

Our goal has never been to write more tickets; it's to see fewer crashes, fewer injuries, and more people arriving home safely.

A little extra attention behind the wheel is a lot less expensive than a trip to court.

Drive safely, Bellevue. We appreciate your help in keeping our roads safe for everyone.

We are continuing to see domestic violence rates rise going into the summer months. No one deserves to be treated this way - but there are substantial resources to help you and your loved ones leave the relationship.

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, call law enforcement and seek help. The Sarpy County Attorney’s Office and Victim Witness Unit have dedicated attorneys and staff for prosecuting defendants and supporting victims of domestic violence. We are dedicated to serving and protecting you.

People working at the Heartland Family Service Sarpy campus say they are seeing an increase in the number of domestic violence cases going through the courts.
