15-18 Project Summary
15. Statement of Need for This Project'in the Community:
Domestic violence continues to grow in the 19th Judicial District
(the 19th Judicial District is synonomous with Weld County). The
1993 statistics indicate the severity of domestic violence problems
and the need for victim services within the District Attorney's
Office, particularly at the critical early stages of the criminal
justice process . In 1993, there were 624 arrests made in domestic
violence crimes . In 1993 , A Women ' s Place, the battered women' s
shelter in Greeley, reports 3 , 480 nights of crisis shelter given to
approximately 300 battered women and their children. These growing
numbers impact the the Victim Assistance Program as this project
provides education, legal liaison with D.D.A. ' s, referral and
individual and courtroom 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, 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 , including domestic violence victims, can be empowering in
order for them to be invested in the court process and their own
recovery.
16. Proiect 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 with volunteer
assistance, all of whom work directly with domestic violence and
the elderly and disabled victims of crime, as well as , assisting
with coordinating services for child abuse, and adult sexual abuse
victims who are involved within the 19th Judical District . The
expansion of services for 1994-1995 will include the Courtroom
Assistance Program (CAP) to provide victims with courtroom
education, orientation, and support throughout the court process ,
utilizing a volunteer staff of approximately 10 University of
Northern Colorado Criminal Justice Interns .
Domestic violence victims are referred to this project by A Woman' s
Place (domestic violence shelter) , Greeley Law Enforcement
Advocates , and/or Brighton Law Enforcement Advocates . 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 working with this special population in
the community.. As a part of the District Attorney' s Office this
project continues 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.

18. TO BE COMPLETED BY CONTINUING APPLICANTS ONLY. NEW PROJECTS NEED NOT COMPLETE.
Describe the major differences between your 1993 VOCA Project and the proposed 1994 VOCA Project. Justify any increase
requested over your 1993 award amount
The major differences between the 1993 VOCA Project and the
proposed 1994 VOCA Project are:
- The 1993 VOCA Project concentrated on direct services to special
populations (elderly and disabled) and domestic violence victims
with increases expected due to the impact of the Victims ' Rights
Amendment. This project has experienced more domestic violence
referrals from Law Enforcement Advocates . D.A. ' s are referring
more domestic violence victims for our services, as well as,
elderly and disabled victims .
- The proposed 1994 VOCA Project is not requesting additional
funding for enhancing services through the Courtroom Assistance
Program (CAP) . It is proposed that by eliminating the Project
Coordinator' s position with the Domestic Violence Task Force as
Coordinator and assuming the responsibilities of providing
courtroom assistance, this project will be providing 100% direct
victim services and utilizing volunteer services , as well .
- An increase of the utilization of University of Northern Colorado
Interns for the Courtroom Assistance Program (CAP) . This will be
a substantial increase of approximately 85% over the five ( 5) UNC
Interns utilized in 1993 .
- A recently hired (September, 1993) Spanish-English bilingual
Project Coordinator, who can provide interpretation for
monolingual victims of crime and their families , a much needed
service in this program.
- In relation to "efforts to cooperate" : The Project Coordinator
has assumed the position of Co-Chair of the Coordinating
Committee for Victims of Crime (CCVC) . CCVC is a newly formed
group, initiated by the Administrator of this project, Nancy
McMenamin, with Lt . Juan Cruz , Greeley Police Department, to
bring together local agencies involved in providing services for
victims of crime' to ensure continuity of those services , to
prevent duplication of services by all agencies and to develop a
"flow chart" for this purpose .
- The number of victims served will increase as shown in project
projections . The types of victims served will remain the same,
with the exception of assisting with the coordinating services
within the D.A. ' s Victim Assistance Program.

A three-year plan for the 19th Judicial District Attorney' s
Domestic Violence and Special Populations Liaison Project continues
to be directed toward increased services to the underserved special
populations beginning with elderly and disabled in our 1993
proposal . 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 for collecting data and
researching this subject. By the end of 1996 , the research will be
completed and assessed. This research can be very helpful in
determining future needs of this population and how our office can
provide this direct service. This project will track services to
elderly and disabled, and all targeted victim services, in the form
of a "Contact Log Data Analysis" form. Another contact assessment
will be completed in August, 1994 .
Effectiveness of services will be tracked through an evaluation
form to be distributed to each victim who has utilized the Victim
Assistance Program, This form is being developed and will be
finalized by July 1, 1994 , to begin distribution by July 15 , 1994 .
With the continuing impact of the Victims ' Rights Amendment, this
program has approached the Weld County Commissioners for an
increase in personnel for 1994 . We requested one FTE . Office
Technician II to provide the clerical services for notifying
victims of crime related to the amendment. This Office Tech II was
funded for the 1994 Weld County budget year. The Victim Assistance
Program is collecting data related to the increase of services due
to the Victims ' Rights Amendment .
Also, included in our three-year plan was a request for supplies
and other expenses related to the increased services to victims of
crime related to the Victims ' Rights Amendment. This request was
also funded. With a full-time Office Tech II 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.
This project will utilize the Lotus Program in our new computer
system to develop a formal system for collecting all data. This
project will be complete by January 1, 1995 .
The new Courtroom Assistance Program will continue to develop,.
providing this needed service to victims as they participate in the
Criminal Justice System.
In addition, it is planned to continue working with other agencies
in Weld County through the Coordinating Committee for Victims of
Crime as co-chairperson to assess and improve the services to
victims of crime. Effectiveness of services will be tracked
through this system.

MINUTES:
Shellie Larson and Kristy Stearns co-chaired this meeting.
Introductions by each agency representative were given and a review
of the previous meeting' s minutes was approved by the committee.
Handouts were distributed to each representative. Area Agency
on Aging provided a flow-chart of their agency. Shellie Larson
passed around a copy of a rough draft CCVC manual which the
representatives reviewed. The general consensus of the members was
very positive regarding the content and direction of the manual .
Shellie Larson also distributed the agenda and minutes of the
previous meeting. Kristy Stearns distributed a "packet" of flow-
charts, agency addresses and services, and the needs a victim of
violent crime might have. The rest of the meeting was devoted to
reviewing, discussing, and revising the flow-charts within the
packet.
It was suggested that each agency represented also include a
list of criteria for their agency services . This list will be in
addition to each agency' s flow-chart.
When reviewing the CCVC manual, it was suggested that a final
copy be given to VOCA and VALE, so that these funding sources could
determine additional or continued financial support of service
providers . Regarding the printing of the manual, a grant which A
Woman's Place has applied for may be available to assist with the
cost of printing.
A different contact person was given by Kim Barbour for Weld .
Mental Health. Kim suggested we contact Sande Hawley to have a
representative present from Weld Mental Health for the committee.

Before the meeting adjourned, it was discussed that each
agency representative make individual contacts to those agencies
who have not been attending. It was also mentioned that the
committee could present the flow-charts to these agencies to help
them determine where they provide services to victims .
The next meeting was scheduled for March 8, 1994 at 9 : 00 a.m.
in room 201 at the Recreational Center in Greeley.
Respectfully submitted,

COORDINATING COMMITTEE FOR VICTIMS OF CRIME
(CCVC)
ISSUES AND NEEDS OF CRIME VICTIMS
Victims of crime have certain and distinct issues and needs .
It is the hope of this committee that we address these needs and
attempt to identify, and rectify, the unmet and overlooked issues
of crime victims .
Victims of violent crimes often sustain physical injury in
rapes, robberies, and assaults . Financial losses result from
stolen, damaged, or destroyed property, lost income, medical
expenses, and protection against further crime. Emotional distress
ranges from fear and anger to shame, helplessness, self-blame, and
depression. Other needs may include housing, food, transportation
and translation services . In addition, victims not only suffer
from the actions of criminals but also from the interventions of
the criminal justice system. Many victims may feel angry,
confused, alienated, and overwhelmed by the process . Education and
support are critical to making the victim feel empowered and a
vital part of the system.
Recognizing these very real hardships, we as a committee have
compiled a list of agencies who provide services to crime victims,

Dear Ms . McMenamin ,
Please find enclosed the minutes from the Coordinating Committee
for Victims of Crime ( CCVC) meeting on January 11 , 1994 .
Kristy and I are really excited about all the constructive input
shared by the members of this committee . As the flow chart
continues to be revised , we get closer to the product we came
together to create . We appreciate the dedication you have shown in
coming to these meetings and sharing with us your comments and
suggestions .
We feel that we are at a point in the creation of this flow chart
and manual , that we can begin meeting on a less frequent basis . We
will be meeting in February , but we feel that it is possible to
decrease the meetings to quarterly . With the approval of the
committee , we will plan on meeting in May .
A copy of the flow chart and a list of organizations involved is
enclosed for your review . We encourage your comments at the next
meeting .
We hope to nominate a committee to put together a manual using the
information we have gathered at this time .
Thank you for your time and interest in this worthwhile endeavor .
We look forward to seeing you February 8 , 1994 .
Sincerely ,
p

MINUTES :
Shellie Larson and Nancy McMenamen co-chaired the meeting , due
to illness in Kristy Stearn' s family . Each agency reintroduced
themselves and corrections to minutes were discussed .
Kim Barbour requested that we invite Gene Haffner from NCMC to
our next meeting . His address was added to the list .
The possibility of creating a manual that would include agency
flow charts and information concerning each was discussed . Many of
the members of this group felt that the committee is getting closer
to the product we planned to create .
Changes in the initial flow chart were discussed . As per the
Last meeting , adjustments were made to make the chart more general .
Individual agencies were asked to determine where they would enter
the system . It was discovered that very often the chart looks the
same for each crime , with a few exceptions . Also , it is possible
for the same agency to be involved from the very beginning and
continue throughout the process . Questions arose concerning the
agencies that were not represented here and how to include them .
Possibly , after the chart is completed , we can go on to other
agencies and determine where they fit in the flow.
The review of the flow chart revealed some gaps in services .
Various areas will be looked at to determine the needs that are not

currently being met . This information will allow funding sources
to evaluate the need for services in these areas . It is not the
intent of this committee to determine how to solve the problems
recognized when these gaps occur , but rather just to point out the
lack of service in various areas .

Dear •
With the goal of bringing together the agencies in the Weld County area
we would appreciate your attendance at the Coordinating Committee for
Victims of Crime (CCVC) Meeting. We will be meeting on July 28, 1993,

building next to the library. Parking is available.
The purpose of this Committee is to ensure consistency and a continuity
of services for victims of crime from the initial contact with law
enforcement and throughout the criminal justice system.
The initial meeting of this committee took place on April 6 , 1993 as a
part of a requirement for VOCA (Victims of Crime Act) Grant Applicants .
It was decided to involve all agencies working with crime victims to
come together at regular intervals (to be decided) to assess crime
victim services and to work collaboratively.
The Victims Rights Amendment is another impetus for working together to
ensure crime victims their rights by law. I am enclosing the District
Attorney' s and the Greeley Police Department' s Victims Rights brochures
for your information. We have also enclosed the minutes from the April
6th meeting.
We would appreciate your attendance and look forward to meeting with
you for this county-wide approach to serving victims of crime, and we
thank you for your interest . Please call Nancy McMenamin at 356-4010,
ext. 4735 for more information and to RSVP. We will need to know if
you will be able to attend by July 21 , 1993 .

Juan Cruz, Greeley Police Department

Shelley Larson, Greeley Police Department
Gary Rathke, 19th Judicial District D.A. 's Office

Juan Cruz and Nancy McMenamin (CCVC Co-Chairpersons) welcomed the
group and each attendee introduced themselves and gave a brief
description of how they were involved with victims of crime in the
19th Judicial District.
Nancy McMenamin and Juan Cruz gave an over-view on the Victims '
Rights Amendment and how this amendment will impact victim services
throughout the state of Colorado. Copies of the amendment, the
enabling legislation, and a historical review of the amendment were
distributed to each attendee by Nancy. Nancy explained that a
team of collaborative agencies in this district/county will assist
the victim in obtaining services in a consistent manner as well as
complying with the requirements of the amendment . Because of this
amendment, victims will be more educated in their rights as a
victim and will be more aware of how this community responds to
victims of crime . She added that when a victim of crime (those
victims specifically identified in the amendment by the type of
crime) is served consistently and respectfully, these victims can
be invaluable in assisting the prosecution.
It was decided that a crime victims flow-chart would be helpful in
assessing the services in this district/county. The flow-chart
would describe how each victim of a particular crime would be
processed through the district/county system for crime victims .
And, from this process it could be determined as to any "gaps" or

"overlaps" in the system with the final product being a consistent
and collaborative approach to victims of crime.
Dan Fowler, Department of Social Services, stated that he had a
flow-chart that had already been developed that be of value to this
committee. Dan will fax this flow-chart to Nancy McMenamin, to be
evaluated and discussed at the next meeting for CCVC.
As part of a collaborative team for crime victims, confidentiality
became a part of the discussion with concerns related to releasing
information between agencies . A suggestion was made that the
committee invite a civil attorney and or the District Attorney to
the CCVC meetings for legal consultation related to confidentiality
and other legal issues that may arise. Nancy McMenamin said that
she would invite Al Dominguez, District Attorney, or a Deputy
District Attorney that Al may select as a representative of the
D.A. ' s Office .
This committee agreed to meet again on August 31, 1993, at 9 am to
11 am at the Greeley Recreation Center, Room 101 . At this time,
the committee with begin to look at other agencies to be included
in this committee and to develop a flow-chart for services related
to victims of crime.
