When Weld County residents are victims of, or witness to a crime, there are specific tasks that they

Act. Ensuring victims have assistance with receiving crisis counseling, locating resources, and
applying for financial assistance is important to helping them overcome being victimized.

SECTION B - NARRATIVE SUMMARY (Sections will expand as needed
7. Agency description:
The Vveld County Victim Services Unit is part of the patrol division at the Weld County Sheriff's Office.
Comprised of two full time advocates, a corps of volunteer advocates, and supervised by a sergeant,
the VSU serves victims of crime in unincorporated Weld County and the Weld County Jail.
8. Project Description for which the funds are being requested from Weld County VALE.
The Weld County Victim Services Unit provides iriwi ediate crisis intervention and folloA, up service to
all victims of crime. The VSU furnishes victims with the resources and assistance they need to
successfully overcome being victimized. The unit also provides VRA-update training to patrol
deputies and sworn jail staff. The VSU completes all Victim Rights Act notifications regarding the pre-
trial and post sentencing custody status of offenders
9. Is this agency located entirely within the 19th Judicial District?
a yes O No
What percentage of agency services are provided for victims/witnesses in the 19th
Judicial District (Weld County)? 100%
10. Please select ONE option below:
A-Agency/Unit has a direct primary focus/mission to serve victims, a statutory obligation to
provide VRA services, and a majority of clients are VRA crimes (all three criteria MUST be met
for A).
11. How will the agency know if the project is successfully addressing the problem statement
identified in question 5? Please include information on surveys and/or project evaluation.
The Victim Services Unit enters activity on all cases into a statistical database. Additionally, daily
reports are automatically generated by the agency's records management system, giving advocates
the ability to monitor daily arrest and warrant arrests, to ensure victims are notified of changes in the
status of the offender. The case activity database is monitored regularly and audited on a quarterly
basis.
12. How has your project positively impacted victims? Please provide data to support
assessment.
Weld County Victim Services Unit Advocates interact with victims on a daily basis helping them
n avigate the confusing and sometimes difficult criminal justice system. They provide resources and
support to help victims remove themselves from dangerous situations and create safety plans to
remain safe moving forward. This occurs with a large population of English-speaking clients, but also
with Spanish speaking clients. The Weld County Sheriff's Office employs a Bi-Lingual advocate to
better serve the Spanish speaking population. Weld County strives to elicit feedback from clients of
all backgrounds to evaluate our strengths and weaknesses and improve services. We have struggled
with receiving surveys back from victims and continue to try and come up with new ideas. We have
n ot received any complaints or negative survey returns, which seems to imply that Weld County
Victim Advocates are providing excellent services and positively impacting victims in Weld County.
Weld County VSU has entered into an agreement with Spidr Tech to send automated surveys to
✓ ictims to hopefully elicit more responses. Our IT department is actively working with Spidr Tech to
get this project off the ground and hopes to go live before the end of the year, 2024.

SECTION Cs SERVICE INFORMATION (Sections will expand as needed)
13. Define the population served, including how agency addresses cultural and underserved
population needs in the community.
Underserved Populations refers to populations that face barriers and challenges in accessing
and using resources, due to geographic location, religion, sexual orientation, gendered-
identity, racial, and ethnic populations.
The 2u2u census states tne population of Weld County is around 3u5,000. Between the
unincorporated areas of the county and communities served, the estimated population served by the
Weld County VSU is just over 50,000. The demographic estimates are 65% white, 30% Hispanic, and
approximately 2% each of Black, American Indian, and Asian. While English is the predominant
language spoken, there is a large number of citizens that speak only Spanish, and smaller populations
that speak only their native language. The victim services Unit provides 24 -hour coverage for crisis
response, follow-up contact, and providing resources, information, and notifications. The advocates
are typically on -duty and in the office during normal business hours but are available in an on -call
capacity every day of the year. The unit has a dedicated Spanish-speaking advocate, but also has
access to the language line to assist when the victim's native language is not English, to ensure there is
not a barrier to the victim being properly served.
