Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine is encouraging law enforcement officers to distribute the new “You Have Rights” card to victims of crime.
The 3-by-4-inch tear-offs, created by the Ohio Attorney General’s Office, offer information about crime victims’ rights under the Ohio Crime Victims Bill of Rights, or Marsy’s Law, which was passed by voters on Nov. 7, 2017.
“We believe that crime victims should be empowered with the information that these cards provide,” said Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine. “This card is just one more tool Ohio’s law enforcement agencies can use to help victims.”
Any Ohio law enforcement agency can request the cards by contacting the Crime Victims Services Section of the Ohio Attorney General’s Office at 614-466-5610.
