Problem Statement Weld County's Victim Services Unit (VSU) is dedicated to the well-being of the citizens who have fallen victim to or witnessed a crime, or are experiencing a traumatic event involving law enforcement. The unit has experienced a challenge providing crises intervention and other services for citizens that are Spanish speaking only. Additionally, we have noticed that often times a Spanish speaking officer is not available to obtain victim/witness statements for those who only speak Spanish. One law enforcement agency that we serve does have access to the language line; 8 smaller agencies do not. The result can be that a victim or witness who only speaks Spanish can be misunderstood, can feel isolated, and intimidated by other witnesses that only speak Spanish. This can result in an inaccurate statement, the feeling of being vulnerable and can exacerbate the secondary trauma experienced by crime victims and witnesses. Additionally, the VSU is responsible for ensuring that victims are able to articulate their position at bond hearings on the weekends, and adding a full-time bi-lingual advocate would make it much easier to comply with this requirement. Currently, it is easier for a defendant to be provided with this service than a victim or witness. According to the 2016 US census, Weld County has a population of 294,932 and with 29.1 % documented as Hispanic or Latino. This unit will continue to be dedicated to providing Victim Rights services and on scene crises intervention in both English and Spanish. 22. Project Summary This project's goal is to provide direct service to all crime victims, witnesses and people experiencing a trauma when Weld County Law Enforcement is involved. Specifically, this project will ensure that victims and witnesses who only speak Spanish will have access to the same services English speaking clients have. The intentions of this project will include direct service in both English and Spanish, productions of written materials in English and Spanish, court advocacy on the weekends, translation services for law enforcement when speaking with a victim or a witness, involvement in local and state committees against human trafficking, community efforts and volunteer team building and training. Estimated victims served is approximately 750 per calendar year for the one 0.95 FTE, and one part-time employees included in the bi-lingual unit Underserved Populations 23. Describe the underserved population(s) in the community you serve (e.g. race/ethnicity, LGBTQI, deaf, disabled, elderly, etc.). This project is specifically focused on serving crime victims and witnesses on all Victims Rights Act cases, while improving the quality and timeliness of services to the currently underserved Hispanic/Latino or primarily Spanish speaking population who are in rural Weld County. Weld County is a large county encompassing 3,996 sq miles. According to the US census for the year of 2017, the population was 294,932 and will likely increase to over 300,000 people. 29.1% reported as Hispanic or Latino. Almost 20% of the County's population reports speaking a language other than English as a primary language in the home. 24. How did you determine the underserved populations?

We have two separate grants that were discussed this morning at our work session. During the work session, all commissioners agreed that we can apply for both the VALE and the VOCA grants. However, based on the discussion this morning, it has been requested we have a follow up work session before the VOCA grant is submitted (due March 9t") to finalize the salary rates we are going to be requesting. Commissioner Conway said that he is fine with missing the work session to meet the deadline of the VOCA application, and is in agreement of adjusting the salaries either as we have presented, or as the other commissioners agree to. Can we please schedule another work session, either later this week or sometime next week before Friday March 9th. The grant does not require a physical signature. Esther, this means we will probably need to have the grant on the agenda for formal approval to apply before the numbers are worked out. I'm not sure how that is going to work.
