Victim Notifications

Under Oregon law, when a person is found guilty except for insanity (GEI), responsible except for insanity (REI), or deemed extremely dangerous and resistant to treatment, the judge is required to ask the victim if they wish to be notified of the person’s future hearings or releases. If the victim expresses this wish, the court must include their contact information in the order placing the defendant under PSRB jurisdiction. The PSRB is then required to provide advance notice of any hearings involving that person.

However, in many cases, the court order does not contain complete victim contact information. In these situations, PSRB staff will make every effort to obtain the missing information by consulting the county victim advocate where the person was found GEI, REI, or was committed. To ensure notifications are sent to the correct address, victims who have requested notification should contact PSRB staff to confirm or update their contact details.

To confirm or update your contact details at any time, please email our office at psrb@psrb.oregon.gov or call us at 503-229-5596. Please provide your name, the PSRB client's name, and your preferred method of contact. The PSRB strongly encourages victims to use email for faster and more reliable delivery.

All contact information will remain confidential and will only be 
used for notification purposes.
