In 1992 , there were 568 arrests made in domestic violence crimes . However, this does not reflect the over 100O police contacts involving domestic disputes . In 1992, A Women' s Place, the battered women' s shelter in Greeley, reports 3,233 nights of crisis shelter given to approximately 258 battered women and their children, 1130 crisis counseling calls, plus a total of 2, 381 domestic violence information and referrals . These growing numbers impact the 19th Judicial District Attorney' s Victim Assistance Program as this project provides education, legal liaison, referral and support services to these victims . This program is only one of its kind within the 19th Judicial District to provide such a service. In addition to domestic crimes, the special populations of the elderly and disabled are in great need of education, legal liaison, referral and support services within the the 19th Judicial District. There are no unique services for the elderly and disabled within the 19th Judicial District ' s Criminal Justice System. Investing time through this project with these unique victims can be empowering in order for them to be invested in the court process and their own recovery. 16. Project Description: The 19th Judicial District Attorney's Domestic Violence and Special Populations Victim Liaison Project is staffed with one .20 FTE,Community Counselor II, who is the coordinator and 1 volunteer, both of whom work directly with domestic violence and the elderly and disabled victims of crime who are involved in the Criminal Justice System. A domestic violence victim is referred to this project by the shelter. It is at this time that the support services and education are offered to that victim, i,e. , court process information, bond/sentencing options, referrals to other agencies, victim compensation and crisis counseling. This project will provide legal liaison, education and personal support services to the elderly and disabled victims of crime who are involved in the 19th Judicial District Criminal Justice System. Referrals will come from law enforcement, District Attorney' s Office, and other agencies in the community. As a part of the District Attorney's Office this project will continue to educate Law Enforcement, the D.A. 's Office and community agencies about the special . services to be provided by this project early in the criminal justice process and collect data on numbers served for future planning. 93vag -avv Reved 3/93 VICTIi...i OF CRIME ACT APPLICATION Page 4 of 22 17.

TO BE COMPLETED BY CONTINUING APPLICANTS ONLY. NEW PROJECTS NEED NOT COMPLETE. Describe the major differences between your 1992 VOCA Project and the proposed 1993 VOCA Project Justify any increase requested over your 1992 award amount The major differences between our 1992 VOCA Project and the proposed 1993 VOCA Project is the focus on special populations, specifically elderly and disabled victims of crime. Our 1992 VOCA Project concentrated primarily on the domestic violence victims and how the Domestic Violence Task Force made significant changes in the direct services to domestic violence victims and their children in Weld County. The numbers have increased in our direct services to victims of domestic violence and with the impact of the Victims ' Rights Amendment, and it is anticipated that the domestic violence numbers will grow along with all other populations of crime victims who are in need of direct services within the Criminal Justice System. Also, this project will seek to unite all agencies who serve victims of crime to enhance services and to identify the quality and consistency of direct services in this area. Increased education regarding our services to law enforcement, the D.A. 's office and other agencies regarding domestic violence victims and special populations will also increase the numbers served by this project. The amount requested for this proposal is less than 10% of the amount received in our 1992 VOCA Grant Award ( 1993 requested: $5, 000 . 00; received in 1992 : $4,605.00) a difference of $395 . 00 . It is felt that with a small increase and slight alteration of priorities, this project can provide direct services to both domestic violence victims and elderly and disabled victims of crime. Data collection will be important to determine the numbers of special populations receiving services from this project for 1993-94 to assess future need. 93vagmt.app 920131 VICTIMS OF CRIME ACT APPLICATION Page 5a Match Work Sheet DO Ea INCLUDE THIS PAGE WHEN MAKING THE 30 COPIES OF TIEMSS 914119 FOR THE COORDINATING COMMITTEE.

There is very little information in local data collections that shows the need for service for special populations within the criminal justice system. A plan for research on special populations is being developed at this time and a University of Northern Colorado Intern will be involved in collecting data and researching this subject next spring quarter. This research can be very helpful in determining future needs of this population and how our office can provide this direct service. With the anticipated impact of the Victims ' Rights Amendment, this program is planning on approaching the Weld County Commissioners for an increase in personnel . We will be requesting one FTE. Counselor to provide the clerical and counseling services for those victims of crimes designated by the amendment. The Victim Assistance Program is collecting data related to the increase of services due to the Victims ' Rights Amendment. With an increae of one FTE Counselor, this project would no longer seek funding from VOCA and would have an institutionalized counselor. Also, included in our three-year plan is a request for supplies and other expenses related to the increased services to victims of crime related to the Victims ' Rights Amendment. With a full-time counselor funded by Weld County and the utilization of interns and volunteers, the Victim Assistance Program in the 19th Judicial District would be capable of expansion and enhancement of services to victims of crime. In addition, it is planned to continue working with other agencies in Weld County through the Coordinating Committee for Victims of Crime to assess and improve the services to victims of crime. 930131 APPENDIX F 930131. 0 a woman's place. inc. p.o.box71 a greeley,colored°80632 p.o. box 312 a tt. lupton, colored° 80621 351-0476 857-2642 April 13, 1993 Carol Poole Division of Criminal Justice 700 Kipling Street, Suite 1000 Denver, CO 80215 Dear Ms. Poole: A Woman's Place staff and I would like to express our strong support for continued partial VOCA funding for the services provided by Jennifer Walker in the Victim's Assistance office.
