PROJECT DIRECTOR: Daniel Chapman Title: Sergeant Phone: 970-400-3934 E-mail: dchapman@weldgov.com 3. AGENCY STATUS : Governmental ✓ Private Non -Profit ❑ Private For -Profit ❑ 4. PROJECT TITLE: Weld County Law Enforcement Victim Services 5. Give a brief problem statement that is specific to the community the project will serve. When Weld County residents are victims of, or witness to a crime, there are specific tasks that they need expert assistance with. Some victims may not be aware of their rights under the Victim Rights Act. Ensuring victims have assistance with receiving crisis counseling, locating resources, and applying for financial assistance is important to helping them overcome being victimized. 6. FUNDS REQUESTED TOTAL: $ 39,930.00 1 O2w-/Y / SECTION B NARRATIVE SUMMARY (Sections will expand as needed) 7. Agency description: The Weld 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 immediate crisis intervention and follow 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? ® 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 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 navigate the confusing and sometimes difficult criminal justice system. The 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 not 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. 2 SECTION C - SERVICE INFORMATION (Sections MI! 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 2020 census states the population of Weld County is around 305,000. 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 status 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. 14.
