4/4/14 - The Livingston County Prosecutor’s Office will hold an award ceremony next Wednesday to honor local people and organizations as part of National Crime Victims’ Rights Week. The prosecutor’s office annually honors those who have gone the extra mile in pursuit or defense of the rights of crime victims over the past year with its Above and Beyond Award. This year’s recipients include the On-Call Response Program at LACASA, which provides 24-hour help and assistance to victims of sexual assault and domestic violence. Also being honored are Livingston County Sheriff’s Detective/Sgt Gary Childers, Deputy Matt Young, and Deputy William Schuster for their dedication to crime victims as reflected in their investigation of a series of home invasions.
