Dear Weld County Sheriff's Office:
It is with great enthusiasm that I write this letter of support for the project which will
develop a victim's assistance center through the Women Against Violence Act grant that
is being submitted by the department. Southeastern Weld County is in great need of
assistance in this area. Geographically we are a significant distance away from the
County seat in Greeley. Services for families and victims of crime do not exist and are
difficult to access. Many of the families that would benefit from this type of assistance
are unable to travel the forty five miles to Greeley to participate in the programs.
The Weld County Sheriff's Office covers many areas in Southeastern Weld County. The
programs that it covers in the schools are very beneficial to our students. They impact
our students by enabling them to have a support in the system that the schools can not
provide. As the coordinator of the Comprehensive Health Grant for the school district,
we have collaborated with the department on several occasions to support the needs of
students and parents of the community. The district is currently collaborating with the
Dare and GREAT programs with the department.
We look forward to continuing the collaboration with the department in this important
and needed area. Victim's assistance is greatly needed as well as education for our
students in areas of personal safety that will assist them as they travel through our
educational system.
Thank you for your support of the grant project.
Sincerely,
Brigitte Gustafson
Director of Exceptional Student Services
Weld Re-3J School district.

To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing a letter of support for the new victim services program for the Weld County
Sheriffs Office.
As a volunteer firefighter with the Southeast Weld Fire Protection District for many
years, I have a direct connection with the citizens of this area. We are a rural area that
doesn't have a huge population but continues to grow every year. The lack of services in
this area is becoming more and more apparent as the years progress. Not having a clear
direction on how and where to direct victims of crime can be frustrating
It has come to our attention that the Weld County Sheriffs Office now has a Victim
Services Unit that is available as a resource to us. We look forward to working with the
advocates for training on crime victimization and prevention. We will build a great bond
through which our community will prosper and become stronger.
Please feel free to give me a call with any questions you might have. My home number
is 303-732-4808.
Sincerely,
4y,
Rich Huwa
Southeast Weld Fire Protection District Firefighter

To Whom It May Concern
I am pleased to be writing a letter of support for Sun Cvancara and her RESPECT
program with the victim's advocacy program.
I recently retired as a Consumer& Family Studies teacher at Weld Central High School,
Re3J school district with 30 years.
During my tenure at Weld Central, Suzi was able to present the empowering skills of
VAWA. She often presented to over 400 students in a one week period. Effective is one
way to describe the program she presented to the 7-12 grade students. In fact, over the
years students often commented that they wished they would have heard the presentation
in grade school. They were able to digest the information she presented and act upon it.
Students through word of mouth really looked forward to the skills they received
(through role plays, story telling and factual information). There was a noticeable change
in the way students related to each other. They commanded respect for each other and
if they weren't given it, they now had"their voice"back. They were made aware of
resources available to them, even at high school. Through the collaborative and
coordination that went into these presentations, students understood the warning signals
of abuse and the red flags to look for in their personal relationships.
Friends looked after each other in areas of respect and issues in dating violence. It was
extremely gratifying to see students put into practice what they were learning. Students
brought the knowledge home, and there was a lot of community support for the
program—students and adults networked.
As an educator, I was pleased to see the valuable lessons students were able to grasp as
young community members. It is tough to be a teenager, and this program really helps
students develop life skills.
Weld County would certainly benefit from the implementation of this program.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Pam Jakel (970) 352-1975

17. CULTURALCOMPETENCY PLAN:VAWA applicants are asked to supply a plan to provide culturally
competent services to meet identified needs of racial,cultural and ethnic minority populations. The definition of
cultural competence is: planning to effectively deliver services in a context that is meaningful to the individual's
culture. Please describe: 1)the diverse needs in your community,2)mechanisms you will utilize to assess and address
the needs identified,3)resources available to implement your plan; and 4)the minority population(s)in the
community you serve, the ethnicity of victims served,as well as ethnicity of staff,volunteers and/or board members.
See instructions for further information.
1 . Our community is defined as rural with 30% hispantcs .
2 . We will actively recruit Spanish speaking volunteers to assist
in the implementation of the program in those areas. Speaking
in the schools to students who are bilingual will be better
equipped to educate their parents on victimization issues.
3 . Because this program is in its infancy, we have not had the
opportunity to develop an adequate list of resources. Our goal
for the future is to have a minimum of 2 Spanish speaking
advocates who will be abaslable to respond to crime victims .
4. Weld County is approximately 30 percent hispanic. Presently
staff is 100 percent caucasion. Because we are currently
recruiting volunteers, we have no means to determine ethnicity
of volunteers. (Recruiting information asks for spanish
speaking volunteers to apply)
