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: $ 33,670.00 1 ,2D0%2 -/4 Co 5 Sections rill e 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? 0 Yes 0 No What percentage of agency services are provided for victims/witnesses in the 19th Judicial District? 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. iXI 12. Define the population and geographic area targeted for service through this project? How do you serve them? Weld County encompasses approximately 4000 square miles. Bordered on the north by Wyoming and Nebraska, the west by Larimer and Boulder Counties, the east by Morgan and Logan Counties, and the south by the Denver Metropolitan area, the geographic area served consists of the entirety of Weld County; an area larger than Rhode Island, Delaware, and the District of Columbia combined. 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. 2 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 13. How many victims have you served previously for this project? Fill in chart below. Continuation Grants: Numbers should correlate to your FINAL 4th Quarter grant reports for each grant year below.

Our Victim Advocates have been trying to work with AWP to change the current perception that they rarely have rooms available or other resources. Covid restrictions have caused the cancellation of several attempted meetings, but the advocates continue to work toward this goal. AWP is a valuable resource in Weld County because it is the only woman's shelter located within Weld County.
