VWAP Mission

The Marine Corps Victim and Witness Assistance Program (VWAP) is designed to ensure victims and witnesses of crime are treated with fairness and dignity, and are afforded their rights throughout the criminal justice process – from initial contact by investigators through any period of confinement adjudged.  Community Development oversees the Marine Corps VWAP.  Contact LtCol L. M. Schotemeyer at (703) 693-8955 for more information about the Marine Corps VWAP. 

Installation VWAP and Victim Witness Liaison Officers: Each Marine Corps Installation’s VWAP is managed by a Victim Witness Liaison Officer (VWLO) appointed by the Base Commander.  Additionally, VWAP representatives are appointed to a Base VWAP Council from individual units, law enforcement agencies, corrections facilities, medical facilities, NCIS and Marine Corps Community Services (MCCS).  These local officials fulfill the VWAP mission at the base level, providing vital services for victims and witnesses of crime.
