Victims Rights Request Form (VRRF)

To ensure victims understand their rights, the Boardman Township Police Department utilizes a version of a Victims Rights Request Form (VRRF). The VRRF provides important information about your rights. This form is NOT a public record.

If you are a victim of an offense of violence or a sexually oriented offense, an officer will review this form with you immediately at the scene or as soon as practical afterward. You will be asked to provide information to assist the officer in completing this form so that we know which rights you wish to exercise. The officer will provide you with a copy of the completed form. In addition to an offense of violence or sexually oriented offense, a victim may complete a Victims Rights Request Form (VRRF) for any crime, and at any time, submit it to the Boardman Police Department. We will ensure that the form is forwarded to the Mahoning County Prosecutor’s Office which is responsible for the adjudication of the case.

To submit the VRRF online, please download the form from the link below and take the following steps.
