Another state mentioned that neglect and exploitation cases may sit in the prosecutor's office for six to nine months with no action.

VIP We in law enforcement have a special obligation to the most vulnerable of crime victims. Those who have suffered life-devastating crimes - elder abuse, sexual assault, stalking, family violence and hate crime - should be treated with dignity and supported. They deserve all the compassion and protection that we in the criminal justice system can provide. To ensure that the victims of these highly traumatic crimes are given the best possible treatment, the District Attorney's Office has established the Victim Impact Program (VIP). This program places specially trained prosecutors in Branch and Area offices throughout the county to specifically deal with these types of cases. This bolsters the offices vertical prosecution efforts, ensuring that one prosecutor handles these cases from start to finish. Under VIP, law enforcement also benefits. Investigators present their cases directly to a VIP coordinator, who assigns each to a specially trained prosecutor and oversees their handling. This assures expert treatment from beginning to end.
