💜 October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month 💜

Domestic Violence is a crime that affects victims, families, and communities. During Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the Sarpy County Attorney’s Office stands with survivors and remains committed to holding abusers accountable for acts of domestic violence.

Our prosecutors and victim advocates work alongside law enforcement and community partners to investigate and prosecute domestic violence offenses while helping survivors navigate the criminal justice system. We recognize that reporting abuse and participating in a criminal case can be difficult, and we are committed to treating victims with dignity, respect, and compassion throughout the process.

Everyone in our community has a role to play in supporting survivors and preventing domestic violence:

🔹 Believe survivors. If someone tells you they are experiencing abuse, listen and take their concerns seriously. Do not blame the victim.

🔹 Encourage victims to seek help. Law enforcement, victim advocates, shelters, and other community resources can help survivors understand their options.

🔹 Report suspected abuse. If you believe someone is in immediate danger, call 911. You do not have to wait for violence to become more serious before asking for help.

🔹 Support the criminal justice process. Witnesses and community members who have information about domestic violence can play an important role in helping law enforcement investigate crimes and hold offenders accountable.

Domestic violence is not a private family matter—it is a crime and a community issue. By supporting survivors, reporting abuse, cooperating with law enforcement, and refusing to tolerate domestic violence, we can make Sarpy County safer.

Members of our community experiencing domestic violence have resources available to them.

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.
