5) AGENCY DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY:
The 19th Judicial District Attorney's Office is a government agency statutorily mandated to prosecute those charged with
committing crimes against the State of Colorado. The Victim Witness Assistance Unit is a department in the Weld County District
Attorney's Office and was established in 1980 to provide assistance to victims of crime as they become involved in the Criminal
Justice System. The Victim Witness Assitance Unit provides a majority of the VRA mandated DA duties which are approximately
37%of the 2011 felony,juvenile and misdemeanor cases filed. Presently,the Victim Witness Assistance Unit staff consists of 13
staff(11.625 FTE)working with victims of any crime including traffic. In 2011, 14,278 cases were filed. Prior to 2006,the 19th
JD Victim Witness Assistance Unit was understaffed and due to the inadequate staff resources victim support was"reactive"
meaning that only victims who contacted the Weld County District Attorney's Office or showed up to court were assisted . There
was no"pro-active" contact. The quality and quantity of Victim Witness Assistance Unit has improved noticeably turning the past
six years as the role of a Victim Witness Assistant has changed from providing reactive service with no continuity, to being
proactive with the victim from the initial filing of charges through trial and sentencing. This enhanced support and service is due to
added financial support of the Weld County Commissioners and increased funding from local VALE&VAWA Grants.
6) DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT(S)FOR WHICH FUNDS ARE BEING REQUESTED:
Grant dollars are being requested for District Attorney's Office Victim Witness Assistance Program to partially fund two
Victim Assistants who support and assist victims of domestic violence. The Criminal Justice System can be scary, confusing,and
frustrating. Victim Assistants help reduce the overwhelming feelings victims many times have by emotionally supporting victims,
educating victims about the court system,and providing the many referrals a victim needs when faced with becoming a victim of
domestic violence. Many times the Victim Assistants at the District Attorney's Office are the first victim assistance contact the
victim has had with a law enforcement agency.
The 19th Judicial District has had a dedicated misdemeanor domestic violence court since September 2001 to serve victims of
misdemenaor domestic violence with immediate intial contact. In February 2005,the program was renamed to Misdemeanor
Domestic Violence Fast Track Program when the Victim Witness Unit added a step of"meaningful consultation"to confer with the
victim about possible resolution of the case prior to the court hearing. The"meaningful consultation", which is a VRA duty,
includes getting input from the victim as to what they would like to see happen in the case in conjunction with explaining the
possible penalties and the plea agreement which will be offered by the prosecutor. During the initial victim contact,the victim is also
asked their position on bond, given Victim's Compensation information,restitution information, safety planning,community
resources, counseling referrals, and their rights as victims of a crime. Whether the victim comes to the initial court hearing or not,
the Prosecutor is able to make a plea offer to the defendant to ideally reach a disposition in the case if the Victim Assistant has had
intial contact with the victim. This process makes the defendant accountable and ordered into domestic violence treatment more
quickly curtailing continued violence. Since the initial contact with victims is usually the day after the incident,questions regarding
modifying the Protection Orders are addressed early. The Domestic Violence Fast Track Program also support victims who appear
in court for subsequent hearings(not just the initial hearing) and at trials when the victim testifies. The District Attomey's Office
Victim Witness Assistance Unit has 1.5 FTE Victim Assistants working in County Court to support all victims of misdemeanor and
traffic cases;the .5 FTE is Spanish-bilingual. This grant application requests funding for 64%of the full time County Court Victim
Assistant providing assistance to the misdemeanor domestic violence victims. The Victim Assistant spends 80%of her time on
these cases. VAWA provided 68%funding in 2011 which went down to 60% in 2012 when the funding remained the same but
costs increased.
In 2008,VOCA provided partial funding for a Victim Assistant to spend part of her time on the felony domestic violence cases
which at that time were all filed in one criminal court division. This enabled a proactive approach to victims of felony domestic
violence crimes, similar to the Domestic Violence Fast Track Program,rather than the minimal reactive interaction which had
previously been the norm due to inadequate staff resources. The Victim Assistant acts as a liaison between the victim and the
criminal justice system providing Victim's Rights information and education, referral to community services, updates on the status of
the prosecution, and support throughout the court process. The felony domestic violence felony cases are now filed in four criminal
court divisions and one Victim Assistant is assigned to each division. This grant application requests funding for 25%of one full
time Victim Assistant, who is Spanish bi-lingual,to provide assistance to felony domestic violence victims in the division she is
assigned to and to Spanish speaking victims of felony domestic violence in the other three court divisions. VAWA provided 25%
funding in 2011 which went down to 23% in 2012 when the funding remained the same but personnel costs increased.

8) PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF NEED FOR THE PROPOSED ACTIVITIES IN YOUR COMMUNITY:
Weld County,Colorado covers 3,999 square miles, and is the third largest county in Colorado. The 2010 United States census
indicates the county population was 252,825,a 39.7%increase from 2000 to 2010. The Hispanic population of 71,802 is 28.4%of
the total population. There are 31 incorporated towns in Weld County. According to the 2010 census,the county seat and principal
city, Greeley,contains 37% of the county's population of 92,889. Generally, most of the remaining population resides within a 20
to 30 miles radius of Greeley and the northeastern part of the county is sparsely populated. In addition, Weld County has a sizeable
temporary population that includes a large seasonal worker population and students attending the University of Northern Colorado
and Aims Community College
In 2011, Weld County had 685 primary victims of misdemeanor domestic violence and 145 primary victims of felony domestic
violence. Immediate contact with domestic violence victims is crucial to effectively prosecute the defendants in these cases whose
victims may later recant the seriousness of the violence. The Misdemeanor Domestic Violence Fast Track Program has a dedicated
courtroom, prosecutors and Victim Assistants. The felony domestic violence cases are handled in four courtrooms with four Victim
Witness Assistants and several prosecutors. Both programs have immediate contact with domestic violence victims through the
Victim Assistants. Immedicate contact with victims is essential to properly address bond conditions, mandatory protection orders
and to give referrals for resources. Since 8.5%of the domestic violence victims(up from 4% in 2010)only speak Spanish,three of
the Victim Witness Assistants working in the VW Unit are Spanish-bilingual enabling the our agency to provide the same victim
service whether the victim is English-speaking or Spanish-speaking.
The MISDEMEANOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE FAST TRACK PROGRAM was instituted in 2005. Prior to 2005, Victim
Assistants did not provide the step of"meaningful consultation" with the victim and only 15%of the cases reached a disposition at
the first hearing because the Deputy District Attorneys were responsible for conferring with the victim,a VRA mandated duty.
Many times there was not time for the Deputy District Attorney to speak with victims which resulted in the case being reset for
another court hearing and the victim being spoken to on the phone rather than in person. Since the implementation of the
Misdemeanor Domestic Violence Fast Track Program,our initial victim contact rate has increased to 71.5%in 2011, which in turn
has increased the rate of resolution of cases at the first hearing to an average of 29%in 2011. Resolving the case at the defendant's
first court appearance promptly sends the defendants to Probation who place them into state approved domestic violence treatment
programs. Regardless of the disposition at the initial court hearing, victims have more immediate victim assistance contact which
provides much needed resources and Criminal Justice System education to those most vulnerable because of the Victim Assistant's
immediate contact.
Victims of FELONY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CASES also come to court the day after the offense, but prior to 2008,we had no
process in place to know a new felony domestic violence case was scheduled for an initial court hearing. These victims would sit in
crowded courtrooms with no one to answer their questions unless a Victim Assistant happened to be in the courtroom for another
matter. In 2008,we received a VOCA Grant to fund part of one Victim Assistant to be assigned to the victims of felony domestic
violence. A process was created to identify all new felony domestic violence cases on the docket each day. Prior to 2008, the
Deputy District Attorneys were primarily responsible for victim contact which was not normally occuring at the first court hearing
since the attorneys were busy with a full docket. Since 2008,the Victim Assistant goes to court to determine if a victim has come
to the hearing and takes that opportunity to make an initial victim contact for those victims who attend. If the victim does not attend
the intial court hearing, the Victim Assistant makes an outreach phone call. Immediate contact is crucial in supporting domestic
violence victims through the court system,and providing needed information and resources to those most susceptible during this
devastating time.
The funding requsted in this grant will enable the Weld County District Attorney's Office to continue their proactive, immediate
contact with victims of domestic violence.

The Victim Witness Assistance Program, as a division of a governmental agency, is limited in the sources and activities it is allowed
to use to raise revenue. While the financial support provided by Weld County has increased,the VW Unit must compete with other
high priority programs for limited county funding. The Director of Victim Services writes grants for funding when available and
appropriate,but grant funding cannot be relied to always be available. Additionally,the VALE Administration dollars and COMP
Administration dollars decreased from 2008-2010 due to the economy. In past years,reserve VALE and COMP dollars were used to
make up the difference between grants and county funding. Reserve dollars in both VALE and COMP are now depleted.
