2002 Budget for Domestic Violence
Deputy Attorney Uresk informed the commission that the Victims Advocate
Program is primarily funded by two federal grants, Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) and
Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) totaling $37,000. The VAWA grant which is $28,000
is going to be cut 10%.
Tracie Hansen reviewed some of the duties of the victim
advocate. Her service is to provide assistance to the victim of a crime twenty-four
hours a day. Tracie assists the victim by going to the scene, providing help with
filling out forms, informing them of the court procedures, providing information of the
many sources available to help.
Roosevelt City contributes the office space, copies, fax
machine, and telephone for the program at no cost.
Tracie informed the commission that the grants were not
intended for long term, they are just to help get the program started.
Travis Mitchell pionted out that in the past officers
didn't have a place to refer the victims for counseling and help. Tracie's job makes
law enforcement more effective.
Sheriff Stansfield stated she replaces officers at the
scene by calming the victim and taking them through the steps of solving the problems
filling out forms giont to court, etc.
John Gardner, Children's Justice Center stated that
Tracie comes to the scene any time twenty four hours a day, Tracie's job is like a cell
phone once we get used to having one its like a step back in time to lose the service.
Dave Boren reminded the commission that the officers are
mandated by law to do certain things at a scene, such as protect the victim give shelter
and fill out protective orders. In the past these things take a lot of time, the
officer is focusing on the suspect and the victim tends to get left out. Tracie
comes in, takes care of the victim, and frees law enforcement to concentrate on the
suspect and the scene.
Attorney Uresk stated that the program is going to be
short about $8,000.
Motion: Commissioner
Ross motioned that considering the 10% reduction the county attorneys office put together
a proposed amount to be budgeted for the Victims Advocate Program. Commissioner
Stradinger second. Motion carried. Roll Call Vote:
