See instruct ions for further information. The Englewood Police Department is a small agency within the larger Denver Metropolitan area. We are a home rule municipality and have a Municipal Court that also has a domestic violence program similar to a Fast Track program where victims of domestic violence experience the criminal justice process. Our comm unity has a lower leve l of education than the surrounding counties as well as a higher level of poverty and homelessness. Compared to our neighboring cities, calls for service are higher and more people are victims of crime. Englewood Police Victim Assistance has historically employed two full time Advocates to provide services to victims of crime. We have also maintained a volunteer force ranging from 8 to 11 people on average. Calls for services have increased and our volunteer pool has declined. Englewood is also a community in transition. We have recently added 6 new apartment complexes that will add approximately 1200 people to our population. At this time, the Victim Assistance Unit would like to add a part-time Advocate to assist with the increase in call load and to provide more in-depth services to victims of crime who interact with the Englewood Police Department. Englewood Victim Assistance has two full time staff members, both who have been with the Department for a long time, are highly trained and experienced, and who are committed to victims of crime. At times, we have ·had had interns to help us provide in-depth services to victims in our community. During the regular work day, the two full- time Advocates are generally able to respond to needs of victims. The Victim Assistance Unit runs extremely well during the day time hours; however, crime does not occur from 8:00am to 5:00pm. We have identified a gap in service that can be filled with a part-time Advocate and fill-in from our current volunteers. We have had difficulty maintaining volunteers over the last 10 years and getting shifts covered on nights and weekends has become problematic. We have relied on neighboring agencies to cover some of the on-call hours. This has been a wonderful help, but it does not allow for continuity of services for victims. At times, we don't receive reports from the on-call Advocates and victims may need to repeat their stories or start over with a new Advocate. Hiring a part time Advocate would provide victims with compassionate and professional advocacy over the weekend and some nights. We have also experienced a higher rate of felonious assaults, sexual assault, and domestic violence. These cases require more in-depth and personal advocacy, which takes time and dedication. The project would aim to hire a part-time Advocate who would work some nights and weekend hours. Calls for service increase on Friday and Saturday during our swing-shift and the Advocate would work these hours as well as a week day so that the Advocate can make referrals to community agencies and provide follow-up assistance to victims. The Advocate would provide crisis intervention to victims on scene or over the phone as well as provide information on the Rights under the Victim Rights Act. The Advocate would attempt to help the victim recover from the crime through support, information on Victim Compensation, resources, information on the criminal justice process, and assuring safety of the victim. Providing professional advocacy during nights and weekends will provide continuity of care for victims. The Advocate would respond to crimes that fall under the Victim Rights Act and assist with felonious crimes, sexual assault, domestic violence, crimes against children, elder abuse, vehicular assaults or homicides, homicides, and other incidents that would result in trauma. The Advocate will increase the response to after hours on-call by 80% and will respond within 30 minutes to the scene. During the day time hours, response expectations are 10 minutes. Victims will indicate an increased understanding of the criminal justice process. Advocates will participate in 4 SART team meetings per year to network and learn best practices for victims of crime. Advocates will also attend the Colorado Organization for Victim Assistance Conference to network and broaden skills and stay up to date with best practices. The Victim Assistance Unit will provide a response to approximately 1,000 victims of crime per year. With the additional Advocate, we would like to increase service to 200 more victims per year. The Advocate will be part of the Victim Assistance Team that will provide direct services to victims under the Victim Rights Act C.R.S. 24-4.1-302.5. Victims of crime will be informed of their Righ t s, they will be supported during their interactions with Law Enforcement, they will be provided the case number, contact information for the Detective or Court that is hearing the case, appropriate Community Agency referrals, referral to Victim Compensation, Safety planning, immediate physical needs will be met, they will be treated with fairness, dignity, and respect, and all aspects of the statue will be met through personal interaction with the Advocate. We are mandated by the Victim Rights Act and it is also the mission of the Englewood Police Department and the Victim Assistance Unit to treat all victims with fairness, dignity, and respect. We also strive to assist victims with their recovery from crime. Victims of crime recover better from trauma if they receive compassionate and professional services as soon as available. In adding another Advocate, we will be able to provide more timely and in-depth Advocacy to the victims in our community.

See instructions for further i nformation. The project will have met its goa ls and objectives by increasing services to victims of crime and providing all victims with ongoing support during the criminal justice proce ss. The project will have provided all victims w ith information on their Rights as well as referrals to resources that may assist victims with recovery . Our goal is to provide safety and support for victims as we ll as to educate v ictims of the Court process and services avai labl e. One measure of success is the rate of acceptance of Victim Compensation applicatio ns for counse ling. We constant ly encourage victims to participate in counseling . We hope our efforts to encourage counseling for victims will help them recover . The program also refers victims to commun ity resources to aid with financial recovery. In particular, we refer frequently to Catholic Cha rites and Integrated Community Family Services (IFCS) to assist those fleeing violence with financial assistance for various financial needs, such as rent, cel l phone replacement, bus tickets, and moving expenses. This project success will also be measured by the amount of services provided to victims. We hope to provide services to 200 more victims per year and to close the gap in service s that exists on some nights and weekends. Th e project will be successful if we can maintain coverage for the after-hours calls with the new part-time Advocate and the volunteers. Victims will receive professional and compassionate Advoca cy from the program and they will have knowledge of their Rights, feel supported, and receive appropriate referrals for assistance i n recovery. The project will also be successful through commun ity networking and participation in Multi-Di sciplinary Teams and training. To evaluate the program's success, we aim to: Provide direct services to 200 more victims per year; To provide crisis intervention to 300 vi ctims on-scene; To assist 350 victims with applications for Victim Compensation; To provide 200 victims with case updates and support through the criminal ju stice process ; To assist 100 victims through the Englewood Municipal Court process; To provide 200 victims with referral s to community based assistance; To participate in Multi-Disciplinary teams to further knowledge and networking; and to provide continuous coverage for Vi ctim Assistance through volunteers and the new part-time Advocate .
