Through CCAP you will be able to check dates and case status.

Generally the Statute of Limitations for a misdemeanor is three years from the date of violation and for a felony it is six years from the date of violation. Many factors including, severity of the crime, age of victim, continuity of criminal activity and discovery of criminal conduct can significantly extend the Statute of Limitations.

That being said, we try to review all criminal cases within 60 days. After the matter is reviewed, you can expect approximately 30 days for the case to be typed, including the necessary paperwork to initiate the criminal process and another 30 days for an open court date.

You may request restitution if you have had out-of pocket expenses related to a crime with which a defendant has been charged.  Complete the restitution form sent to you in your Victim Witness packet and attach documentation to substantiate your requested figure. The District Attorney will request restitution as part of the sentence if you submit a restitution request. We cannot guarantee that you will receive any restitution.

The State of Wisconsin Department of Justice has a program to reimburse crime victims, or, in the case of death, their dependants and family members, for certain expenses they incur as a direct result of a crime. This program does not reimburse for property loss or damage. There are requirements that must be met in order to be eligible for the program. If you want to learn more about eligibility requirements or request an application, ask the Victim Witness Assistance Program or call the Office of Crime Victim Services, toll-free at 1-800-446-6564.

If you have been informed that restitution is ordered and the adult defendant is placed on probation, contact the agent of record for assistance. The Oshkosh office for the Department of Corrections, Division of Community Corrections phone number is (920) 424-1721. The Neenah office for the Department of Corrections, Division of Community Corrections phone number is (920) 751-4540. Most offenders are set up on a monthly payment plan. In some cases payments are not received as planned. Pursuant to Wisconsin State statutes, payments are disbursed by the Corrections Cashiers Unit in Madison, Wisconsin.
