Program -Specific Questions Culturally Competent Victim Restoration Victim service providers must have the ability to blend cultural knowledge and sensitivity with victim restoration skills for a more effective and culturally appropriate recovery process. Cultural competency occurs when: (1) cultural knowledge, awareness and sensitivity are integrated into action and policy; (2) the service is relevant to the needs of the community and provided by trained staff, board members, and management, and (3) an advocate or organization recognizes each client is different with different needs, feelings, ideas and barriers. Provide information in this section regarding how your organization is culturally competent when providing services to victims. Brazos County is home to Texas A&M University, one of the largest universities in the United States. Texas A&M University draws students and professors from over 131 different countries around the world. Unfortunately, since domestic and sexual violence is not unique to any culture, economic status, or race, we also see victims and offenders from a diverse group of cultural backgrounds. In many of these cultures, physical and sexual violence is normal, and victims are often surprised to see the seriousness that our law enforcement partners and our office take with domestic and sexual violence. Victims also have a variety of valid concerns about what reporting will mean for their livelihood and often their immigration status here in the United States. It is Important to address these concerns with the victim in their own language, and over the last several years we have reached out to translators In Spanish, Fars[, Mandarin, and Malay in order to make sure that our victims understand that we are there to help them, and will go the extra mile in order to address their unique situations and issues. In order to address cultural differences and unique issues facing our unique victim Issues, our office has attended *numerous trainings about victim services available to immigration families. We also have attended trainings about being aware and culturally sensitive in working with victims where domestic and sexual violence are an accepted part of everyday life. In addition, our office has researched and conducted tralnings on unconscious bias and approaching victims and offenders from different backgrounds. We pass this training on to our law enforcement partners through numerous trainings each year. Culturally Specific and Underserved Populations Following are relevant definitions needed to answer this question. - Underserved populations means populations who'face barriers in accessing and using victim services, and includes populations underserved because of geographic location, religion, sexual orientation, gender Identity, underserved racial and ethnic populations, populations underserved because of special needs (such as language barriers, disabilities, alienage status, or age), and any other population determined to be underserved by the Attorney General or by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, as appropriate. - Culturally specific means the program is primarily directed toward •racial and ethnic minority groups (as defined In section 1707(g) of the Public Health service Act (42 U.S.C. 300u -6(g)). - Racial and ethnic minority group means American Indians (including Alaska Natives, Eskimos, and Aleuts); Asian Americans; Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders; Blacks; and Hispanics. - Hispanic means Individuals whose origin is Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American, or any other Spanish-speaking country. Does your program have a primary focus on serving a culturally specific population? (The organization must do more than merely provide services to an underserved population or culturally specific group; rather, the organization's primary focus must be on providing culturally competent services designed to meet the specific needs of the target population In order to justify a YES response in the section below.) _ Yes X No If you answered 'YES' above, you must explain in the box below how your organization's program is specifically designed to focus on and meet the needs of culturally specific populations. If this Item does not apply enter 'N/A'. N/A !lot. Pg. State Priorities Provide a brief explanation regarding the proposed project's relevance to any or all of the following state priorities. If none of these items apply enter'N/A' ' Improving the criminal justice system response. Statistically, domestic violence and sexual assault are one of the least prosecuted and most misunderstood crimes In the criminal justice system. Having a specialized Investigator and prosecutor has allowed our office to track the issues and barriers to successful prosecution In these cases. These barriers can Include victim behavior and lack of evidence. Having a specialized investigator and prosecutor has allowed our office to track the issues and barriers to successful prosecution of domestic violence cases. Our prosecutor reviews each of the domestic violence and sexual assault cases that are presented to our office, and has conducted surveys among the patrol officers at the law enforcement agencies to identify the issues and problems that prevent a successful prosecution of domestic violence case. As a result, we have completely changed the paperwork the law enforcement agencies are using in domestic violence cases to prompt officer to identify high-risk victims, gather critical evidence regarding. injuries and symptoms of strangulation, and identify issues and barriers to a victim leaving a domestic violence situation. This paperwork is based on research from Johns Hopkins University, the Journal of Emergency Medicine, and was prepared in consultation with medical experts In strangulation cases. As a result of these forms, we only dismissed three cases for insufficient evidence last year and only plead one strangulation case to a misdemeanor. Before the specialized unit, our office regularly dismissed domestic violence cases due to insufficient evidence and victim recantation. This has led to victims feeling safer, protected, and trusting the criminal justice system In a way which did not exist prior to the creation of the Family Violence Unit. Improve court services regarding domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking. Court services have been greatly strengthened by the addition of a specialized prosecutor and Investigator. With the addition of these two positions, the District Courts have been able to have a consistent contact in the District Attorney's Office regarding domestic violence and sexual assault cases. Each court has at least two prosecutors that are assigned domestic violence, dating violence and stalking cases in that court. This has enabled the trial courts to set aside specific weeks in order to try cases involving domestic and sexual violence. These specialized dockets enable the District Attorney's Office to better resolve these cases in a timely manner. In addition to the services provided by the Felony District Courts, the addition of a prosecutor and an investigator has allowed the Justice of the Peace Courts, which set bond in the cases to have a consistent contact with the District Attorney's Office. We have worked with our local Justices of the Peace courts to help them understand the cycle of domestic violence and they now set bond conditions in all family violence cases. They also Issue emergency protective orders on a consistent basis. These conditions have allowed officers to quickly respond and arrest any family violence offender who Is continuing to harass or abuse his or her victim. The specialized unit also allows the prosecutor to be continuously updated on the status of defendants who continue to violate the conditions of their bond, revoke their bond where appropriate, and charge the defendant with new offenses such as violation of a protective order and violation of bond conditions. We have also secured the cooperation of our local Justices of the Peace and they are testifying in many cases where there is a violation of a protective order or a violation of bond conditions, thereby strengthening our case and increasing the amount of convictions for domestic violence abusers. Strengthen victim restoration. The Crimes Against Women Unit has strengthened victim restoration by immediately following-up with the victim following the offense. This immediate follow-up and specialized staff has allowed us to combat many of the issues which arise in domestic violence cases after the police have left the scene. These Issues include financial issues, housing difficulties, pressure from family or the abuser to recant, and continued violence against the victim. We have filed protective orders, sought bond conditions, referred to counseling and other support/advocacy organizations, assisted with crime victims' compensation, and obtained quick resolutions to cases. In addition, we have trained officers to Identify the victims in a domestic disturbance case in an effort to decrease the number of victims arrested for defending themselves against their abuser. This has Increased victim cooperation dramatically and Increased victim satisfaction with the criminal justice system. Increase collaboration and communications across all levels of government and among all victims services. The Crimes Against Women Unit has collaborated with other law enforcement agencies, advocacy organizations, and victim assistance groups. First, this last year we worked with the Texas Council on Family Violence to create a Domestic Violence High Risk team. Our office leads the team and works with all the local law enforcement agencies, our local domestic violence services provider, the local hospital, Mental Health Mental Retardation (MHMR), Child Protective Services (CPS), and the Probation Department to Identify high-risk victims of domestic violence and provide a coordinated response to these situations. In our monthly meetings, we staff these cases and identify ways that we can coordinate what we need to do in order to combat domestic violence problems in these cases. Our specialized prosecutor also leads the Sexual Assault Resource Team (SART), which consists of representatives from all local law enforcement agencies, advocacy groups, and medical community members. This team meets once a month to collaborate on sexual assault investigations and pending cases, in order to streamline services for the victim. Our specialized prosecutor and victim assistance coordinator are also on the board of the Brazos County Coalition Against Domestic Violence, which consists of local community members, victim advocates, law enforcement, and medical providers to raise awareness and funds for Phoebes Home, our local domestic violence shelter. Because of our specialized unit's leadership in our county, we have seen increased progress ant result In our regional effort to establish a Lethality Assessment Program (IAP) by applying for and securing a grant for training from the Maryland Network Against Domestic Violence. This program, spearheaded by our office, and implemented In the summer of 2016, has allowed front-line officers to recognize high -danger victims of domestic violence, and immediately connect them with services for these victims on the night they have been victimized. Because of our new unit and the increased collaboration, our local domestic violence women's shelter has made contact with large numbers of women in high danger situations who previously have had no contact with victim services. Specifically, our research revealed that prior to the introduction of the Lethality Assessment Program, Phoebe's Home averaged two domestic violence victims agreeing to receive services as a result of a referral from a law enforcement officer. In the first six months of the Lethality Assessment Program, over 142 victims agreed and received services from Phoebe's Home as a result of a law enforcement referral. Finally, our Family Violence Unit has also worked with our local law enforcement agencies to create a new family violence supplement that helps to Increase the effectiveness of domestic violence investigations at the crime scene. We have already seen excellent results - from officers having guidance on questions to ask in these sensitive investigations, Including a marked increase In the number of strangulation cases which have enough evidence to be prosecuted. These changes would not have been possible without the specialized expertise and focus of a domestic violence prosecutor and Investigator. Finally, we have created new and lasting relationships with the Texas A&M University Nursing program. They have worked with us in a number of cases to give expert testimony and consultation about domestic violence, strangulation and sexual assault cases (especially in the areas of physical and psychological trauma to victims). Additionally, our office has worked with the Justices of the Peace in our county as well as our local 911 professionals to update all Individuals in their database who have no- contact provisions as part of their bond conditions. That information Is then available to all law enforcement personnel in the county. This type of collaboration keeps women safer in Brazos County. Vol.3aI pg.

Project Abstract : The Brazos County District Attorney's Office Is committed to obtaining justice for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking. In order to do this properly, the crimes must be quickly and professionally investigated and prosecuted. The Crimes Against Women Unit is comprised of a prosecutor and an investigator that is specially trained In the investigation and prosecution of physical and sexual violence in all forms, Along with these specially trained individuals whose sole focus is the prosecution of physical and sexual violence, the Crimes Against Women Unit consists of a prosecutor in each of our three District Courts that handles the domestic violence cases to court. These Individuals, along with a Victim Assistance Coordinator that is 100% dedicated to physical and sexual violence cases make up the rest of the Crimes Against Women Unit. Our Victim Assistance Coordinator meets with a victim within seven days of the crime to inform her of the criminal process, answer any questions she may have, and gather information about the offense and the offender that Is necessary for prosecution. The prosecutor and Investigator is in charge of gathering physical, testimonial, and medical evidence and presenting that evidence to the grand jury. Having a prosecutor and investigator that is solely focused on physical and sexual violence has resulted In the quicker resolution of cases and has improved services to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault in Brazos County. According to the 2014 Brazos Valley Council of Governments Regional Criminal Justice Plan, the Brazos County population in 2020 will be over 240,000 people. Over 118,000 of those citizens will be women who could be eligible for this program. A staggering 92% of our victims of physical and sexual violence are women. Currently, over 50% of all felony violent crime in Brazos County involves physical and sexual violence, A specialized unit that is created to tackle the domestic violence and sexual assault cases In Brazos County has benefited and will continue to benefit countless women and children who are living In homes where domestic violence is prevalent. Problem Statement: Victims of domestic and sexual violence suffer from a variety of unique issues when they are dealing with a criminal case. In many cases, the victims know the assailant, often intimately. This relationship presents unique challenges in the criminal investigation and prosecution, as the offender is frequently the only financial provider for the victim, and the victim has been conditioned for a long period of time to accept the physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. As a result, the victim can feel guilty, embarrassed, and disloyal for reporting the abuse to authorities or cooperating with law enforcement. Consequently, the victims in domestic or sexual violence are often uncooperative and challenging. They can lie to protect the abuser, or minimize the abuser's conduct. Specialized training and experience is needed to both understand the psychology of the victim's behavior, as well as strategies of overcoming the unique challenges of these cases. A specialized prosecutor and Investigator, who are trained in the area of domestic and sexual violence, can better understand and address the challenges of these cases during every phase of the criminal justice process and beyond. This understanding has and will continue to lead to more successful, trusting relationships with our victims and allow for a more successful prosecution, regardless of the victim's cooperation. Supporting Data : An analysis of the Brazos County Felony dispositions has shown good insight Into the problems of domestic violence in our county, In 2019 calendar year, we filed 221 new domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking cases. In that same period, we convicted 155 defendants of family violence offenses and sentenced an additional 24 to deferred adjudication. We have seen a marked increase in the number of strangulation cases and the number of violation of a protective order or violation of bond condition cases. In the past, the lack of a specialized prosecutor has not allowed our office to track family violence cases to discover what were the Issues and barriers to successful prosecution. Because we now have a specialized prosecutor and investigator, we have begun to combat several of the problems in the investigation and lengthy court process that existed prior to prosecution. In the last year, we have placed a special significance on strangulation cases, making efforts to better train law enforcement on recognizing the signs and symptoms of strangulation, and teaching them the importance of medical intervention both for the victim, This education helped us gather the necessary Information to only dismiss one strangulation case for insufficient evidence and achieve a net prison rate of 52,17% for these highly dangerous cases. The other 23% of our family violence cases are divided between violation of a protective order/bond conditions, sexual assault and attempted sexual assault, •stalking, assault family violence strangulation with a prior, and murder. 10% of disposed misdemeanor cases were violation of protective order cases. In the past, the lack of a specialized prosecutor has not allowed our office to track family violence cases to discover what were the issues and barriers to successful prosecution. Because we now have a specialized prosecutor and investigator, we have begun to combat several of the problems in the investigation and lengthy court process that existed prior to prosecutibm'In the last year, we have placed a special significance on defendants who are repeat-famlly violence offenders. In this last fiscal year, 63% of defendants charged with Assault Family Violence with' a Prior Conviction; 80% of defendants charged with Assault Family Violence by Strangulation with a Prior, and 89% of defendants charged with Violation of a Protective Order/Bond Condition by Assault were sent to prison. This targeted approach towards repeat offenders by our specialized unit Is borne out by these.numbers, which helps victims and the community have confidence our office's ability'to protect these victims and ensure the safety of the community. Project Approach & Activities: The Crimes Against Women Unit's approach to decreasing the prevalence of domestic violence is grounded in the literature that speaks about the cycle of violence. Often Individuals who are in abusive reiationships are psychologically and emotionally abused as well, causing them to believe they shouldn't leave or cannot leave their current relationship. While these victims may call the police to stop a person for physically assaulting them, more often than not the victims are still easy prey for their abusive partners. Manipulation of the victim continues after the defendant is incarcerated. There may be pressure In those cases from the defendant or his family to drop charges -and pretend nothing happened. The Crimes Against Women Unit has addressed Priority 1 of the Brazos Valley Council of Governments by increasing resources and staff to enhance service to clients. The Crimes Against Women Unit has broken the cycle of violence with great success because we are meeting with victims early in the process, and addressing the barriers to successful prosecution. Before the implementation of the Crimes Against Women Unit, victims may not visit with a prosecutor until six months after indictment, may have no protection against their abuser in the interim, and may not understand the resources available to leave an abusive situation, Our unit has cut this time down to around seven days between the offense date and the first contact from the District Attorney's Office. Because of this new approach, our office gets better Information as to what actually happened on the night of the offense. On many occasions, we have been able to get pictures of bruises not noticeable on the date of the offense. We are also able to gather background information about other instances where there may have been physical violence, stalking behaviors or emotional abuse. These behaviors are all critical to a jury when deciding the punishment of a particular domestic violence defendant for the crimes Vol. 7 Pg. ��cD he has committed. The specialized trashing and prosecution of these cases has resulted in increased punishment for violent offenders and increased services for victims who are in real danger. Irl addition, we have now implemented bond conditions for all family violence and sexual assault cases, as well as implementing a lethality assessment program to identify which victims are in high danger and immediately get them in contact with our local domestic violence service provider. As a result, we have seen an. increase of over 1,000% of our victims being contacted by our domestic violence service provider, which addresses Priority 2 of the Criminal Justice Plan (Enhance communication and information sharing between victim service providers, law enforcement and private sector partners). We have been able to connect victims of physical and sexual violence to Phoebe's Home (our local women's shelter) for'counseling, safety planning and housing. We have been able to connect sexual violence victims with licensed Individual counselors at the Sexual Assault Resource Center. With the addition of our grant funded prosecutor and investigator, our office has seen an increase in the number of offenders convicted, and an Increase in the sentences our juries or judges Impose. The Crimes Against Women Unit has also improved the criminal justice system's response to violence against women by being able to offer women services much earlier in the process than the status quo. Before implementing this process it would take our office anywhere between 6-9 months to contact a victim of domestic violence. With our specialized unit we are able to contact women within days of their assault. This has led to more favorable outcomes when it comes to the prosecution of domestic violence offenders. Under Priority 3 of the Regional Criminal Justice Plan, our Crimes Against Women Unit has taken the lead in our area in helping to increase training for agency providers to meet the growing demand for victim support to match our growing population. Our victim assistance coordinator as well as many of our domestic violence prosecutors are speakers at the Every Victim Every Time conference which had over 850 attendees in 2018. Additionally, the Crimes Against Women Conference held in Dallas, TX has asked our specialized prosecutor to speak this year on her success in prosecuting sexual assault cases in our jurisdiction. Our grant funded prosecutor has been asked to train other nearby prosecutors on domestic violence prosecution and ways to replicate bur program in their offices. Capacity & Capabilities: The Brazos County District Attorney's Office created the Crimes Against Women Unit after the awarding of a grant from the Governor's Office in October of 2015. Since that time we have seen a sharp increase domestic violence abusers being convicted and sentenced by Brazos County judges and juries. In fiscal year 2018, our office served over 300 victims of domestic vlolence. This is a direct result of the skill and,speciallzed training of Crimes Against Women Unit. Our unit consists of a prosecutor and investigator that are experienced and effective at finding and presenting the truth to juries about physical and sexual violence. One of our victim assistance coordinators is specifically assigned to all domestic violence and sexual assault cases that are filed in our office. Her job is to meet with the victims within seven days to speak to them.ab"out the crime and what they need going forward. She is able to glean more information about the perpetrator and prior acts of violence he may have committed, as well as get the victims the services they need to recover from their abuse. Additionally, two prosecutors in each District Court are assigned to help prosecute all domestic violence, dating violence and stalking cases In that court. Our grant funded Family Violence prosecutor is specially trained in the cycle of violence, trauma and its effect on.victims. Our domestic violence investigator is a licensed peace officer and was a detective with the College Station Police Department before coming to work with our office. These credentials are important because it shows that funds that have been given to the Crimes Against Women Unit have been well spent with individuals who are effective advocates for women who are in domestic violence, family violence, dating violence and sexual violence situations. Since receiving this grant in 2015, our capabilities have expanded in ways we could have never imagined. The Crimes Against Women Unit Prosecutor and Investigator can focus on our high risk offenders who often try to Intimidate their victims. In many cases this abuse can take the form of harassing or threatening phone calls and letters after the defendant has been arrested in order to stop the victim's participation in the criminal justice system. Our unit has been very successful at making contact early with victims, getting contact information and monitoring jail phone calls and mail going from abusers to victims. We are also able to use this evidence, along with emergency calls and medical records, to corroborate the statements given by victims at the time of the offense. This has given our office courtroom quality evidence in order to file new and innovative charges such as violation of bond conditions, violations of protective orders, and stalking. In many cases our office Is revoking the defendant's bond so he cannot harass the victim anymore. Our capabilities have increased in our knowledge and use of experts in the field of domestic violence. Our cases that are prosecuted in front of juries frequently have experts in the fields of strangulation, the cycle of violence, and the trauma of sexual assault and its effects on victims. This testimony is vital with our high-risk offenders who many times have used force and intimidation to threaten and silence their victims. Our prosecutors and experts have been specially trained to give the jury the evidence they need in order to hold offenders accountable, Performance Management: The Brazos County District Attorney's Office proposes.cgntinued funding for Crimes Against Women Unit that specializes In prosecuting Family Violence, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Stalking and Sexual Assault. The goal for this project is to reduce violence against women in Brazos County and increase awareness of domestic violence county -wide. Our objectives for this project are as follows: 1. Decrease violence against women by intervening quickly after a domestic violence assault. 2. Connecting these women and their children with much needed resources such as counseling, safety planning, and/or protection at the local women's shelter. 3. Increase the quality and effectiveness of prosecution by adding a specialized prosecutor and investigator who are trained in the dynamics of domestic violence and sexual assault. The Brazos County District Attorney's Office will measure achievement In order to determine the effectiveness of Crimes Against Women Unit in the following ways: 1. Monitor time between when a case is presented to our office and our first contact with the victim. 2. Monitor the time between Indictment of a domestic violence case and disposition of that case -by a prosecutor and investigator trained in the dynamics of physical and sexual violence. 3. Monitor the effectiveness of the Crimes Against Women Unit by examining sentences given in criminal cases by judges and juries. 4. Monitor the types of cases accepted by our office and the dispositions'of those cases In order to determine If the Crimes Against Women Unit Is having a positive effect on the strengths of the Investigations being done by the law enforcement agencies. Target Group : The Crimes Against Women Unit is a broad based project that helps to support any adult victim of family or sexual violence in Brazos County. Last year, our statistics showed that 91% of our family and sexual violence victims were female. In addition, the Texas Council on Family Violence reports that 47% of Texas citizens report that they have had a personal experience with family violence. The 2017 estimated population from the Texas Department of State Health Services for the College Station -Bryan Area is 261,901. That population is expected to almost double to 419,114 by 2050..49.3% of the individuals living In Brazos County are female. In addition there are over 58,000 students with almost 28,000 of those students are female. Blinn Junior College's Brazos County campuses could see enrollment exceed 15,000 by 2017 and approach 20,000 by 2025. The Crimes Against Women Unit has the potential of increasing the security of almost half of the population of Brazos County and the additional 70,000 to 80,000 college students in Brazos County. Additionally, an Vol. 3a? E Pg. ��, analysis of the crime disposition of over the past year revealed that 73% of the violent crime committed in Brazos County is domestic violence. That does not Include the significant number of victims who do not report the domestic and sexual violent crimes committed. against them. The Crimes Against Women Unit's target group includes these victims, Including the significant number of victims whose crimes are unreported because of the barriers and stigmas associated with domestic and sexual violence. Evidence -Based Practices: According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence and the Department of Justice , research shows that intimate partner violence accounts for 15% of all violent crime. Our numbers In Brazos County seem to be even higher than that national average, recent research within our office showing domestic and sexual violence accounted for 73% of the violent crime cases handled by our office. In addition, an evaluation of the number of domestic or sexual violence related homicides revealed that between 2013 and 2019, our county averaged two domestic violence related homicides a year. These numbers are extremely high compared to. the state and national averages and demand a response that is robust enough to handle the problem we face. The reality of domestic and sexual violence cases means that the ovetwheiming majority of victims of these crimes In our county do not wish to participate In the prosecution of their abuser. In order to hold these abusers accountable, it Is important that law enforcement and prosecution gather as much evidence as possible at the beginning of the case In order to create a case which can be successfully prosecuted. In order to achieve this goal, our prosecutor has worked with our law enforcement agencies to change the reports and documentation related to domestic and sexual violence cases. This year, all law enforcement agencies will now use a standard family violence form which prompts the officers to ask specific questions on symptoms of strangulation and dangers which could indicate that the victim Is In a high -danger situation. These questions are based on research done by the Journal of Emergency Medicine and Johns Hopkins University, as well as in consultation with medical strangulation experts. As a result of these new forms, we have greatly increased the number of strangulation cases we have been able to successfully prosecute. Finally, with our emphasis in the last year on repeat offenders, we have seen a marked Increase in the number of defendants sentenced to prison who have a history of family violence. In the last fiscal year, 63% of defendants charged with Assault Family Violence with a Prior Conviction; 80% of defendants charged with Assault Family Violence by Strangulation with a Prior, and 89% of defendants charged with Violation of a Protective Order/Bond Condition by Assault were sent to prison. This targeted approach towards repeat offenders by our specialized unit is bone out by these numbers, which helps victims and the community have confidence our offices ability to protect these victims and ensure the safety of the community.

Program -Specific Questions Culturally Competent Victim Restoration Victim service providers must have the ability to blend cultural knowledge and sensitivity with victim restoration skills for a more effective and culturally appropriate recovery process. Cultural competency occurs when: (1) cultural knowledge, awareness and sensitivity are Integrated Into action and policy; (2) the service Is relevant to the needs of the community and provided by trained staff, board members, and management;. and (3) an advocate or organization recognizes each client is different with different needs, feelings, ideas and barriers, Provide information in this section regarding how your organization Is culturally competent when providing services to victims. It Is the duty of our office to serve all felony crime.victims within our jurisdiction — no matter their race, gender, ethnlcity, belief system or social status. Providing services for all victims Is not only the law but is our passion. We believe all people should be treated equally and we recognize that cultural sensitivity is a huge factor In fulfilling our duties. Our office serves a variety of victims of violent crime including domestic violence, homicide, sexual assault, stalking and aggravated assault. Our office also serves victims of property crime and fraud such as burglary, theft, and fraud. Every victim 1s treated with the dignity and respect. Brazos County citizens who are victims of crime do not just receive the Texas Crime Victims' Bill of Rights in article 56.02 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Instead, our office goes beyond those basic rights and tries to give victims of crime a voice In the criminal justice system. We routinely ask crime victims about their feelings on each case and what outcome they would like to see. While we cannot accommodate every request, we believe that input on each case is vital to the restoration of the victim. Our Victim Assistance Division works with various organizations In the community to better their cultural knowledge and competency for all crime victims. They participate in various multidisciplinary task forces and other groups that better enhance their knowledge of specific victims and their needs. Our Victim Assistance Coordinator is trained to recognize the Individual needs of all crime victims and how to best serve them during the criminal justice process. In addition, our Victim Assistance Coordinators help to train all new prosecutors In our office about awareness and sensitivity to victims and the issues that they go through In our new prosecutor orientation. Our victim advocate also helps to secure and create a training opportunity for our staff as well prosecutors, counselors, law enforcement on cultural knowledge, awareness, and sensitivity by helping create and chair the Every Victim Every Time Conference that trains over 800 people each year in areas such as "5 Keys to Working with Victims and their Families" and "Advocacy & Victim Support on a College Campus." It is the mission of the Victim Assistance Division to provide services, information, arid advocacy for each crime victim. All victims are treated with respect and understanding in their situation. Just as every case that comes -through our office is unique, we recognize that each victim Is unique and has different needs. We strive to do our best to fulfill these needs.

So when it happens, the Brazos County District Attorney's Office Victim Assistance Division Is there to help guide those through our criminal justice system. Brazos County has over 3,000 cases currently filed across 3 district courts. The victim assistance program is crucial to helping those that have fallen prey to crime ensure the safety of our community. With five divisions and over 40 staff in the office, the victim assistance program is crucial to the work of the Brazos County District Attorney's Office. Victim assistance coordinator duties consist of contacting all victims of crime once the case is received in our office, notification of all court hearings, plea deals and dispositions on all cases, court accompaniment for victims or family members, witness coordination for all trials and daily dockets and assistance with filing for the Office of the Attorney General's Crime Victims' Compensation Program. Because of COVID-19, our office has been proactive and used videoconferencing to communicate promptly and safely with victims of crime in Brazos County. Our coordinators help to create and facilitate Zoom meetings, whether it be for victim communication or for trial preparation. Having a third coordinator has allowed for us to keep up in these unprecedented times. From March to July of 2020, there was no in person court appearances, however, our office still had virtual hearings where witnesses were called and cases were disposed. Our Victim Assistance Coordinators continued to communicate with victims and update them on everything happening. The grant -funded victim assistance coordinator -position has also continued the great working relationships between the District Attorney's Office and local law enforcement agencies, social service agencies, support groups, court personnel, and the Brazos County Community Supervision and Corrections Department. The third position continues to be a vital asset to our growing community and has continued to enable the Brazos County District Attorney's Office with the tools to keep up with the demands that come with the growth. Problem Statement : The Brazos County District Attorney's Office accepts cases from multiple agencies and generates almost 3000 new cases each year. This Includes felony crimes, juvenile crimes and misdemeanor cases. In each case, victims are notified as soon as the case is received by our Intake Division. With the third Victim Assistance Coordinator we have been able to keep up with our growing community. Our Victim Assistance Division sends a letter to each victim letting them know the status of their case. Our Victim Assistance Coordinators are expected to answer victim phone calls, input all victim information into a computer system and document all victim correspondence. They are also expected to accompany victims, family members and witnesses to court hearings, including trials. They are also expected to accompany victims and their family members to any pretrial or status hearings on any given case that is on the dally dockets in each court. Victim Assistance Coordinators are many times called out to crime scenes and to help victims In crisis as well as going to homes of victims all across the state and even out of state. Before getting this grant, our victim assistance division was not able to effectively accompany and consult with our victims of crime whose offenders are juveniles because of the strain placed on them with the adult felony climes. They were also not able to effectively work with victims who come through Child Protective Services. These victims were left without a person to talk with them about the process and offer help in terms of connecting these individuals with counseling and other needs. This has all changed since the addition of the grant -funded Victim Assistance Coordinator to our office. In addition to these duties, the Victim Assistance Division maintains contact with focal law enforcement agencies, social service agencies, support groups, court personnel, and the Brazos County Community Supervision department about victim issues. This includes working with these agencies to coordinate the Brazos County Tree of Angels program, the Scotty's House Child Advocacy Center Multi -Disciplinary Team, the Brazos County Coalition against Domestic Violence, the Brazos Valley Care & Coordination Team and the Every Victim Every Time Conference put on each year. Given all these duties a continuation of the grant -funded Victim Assistance Coordinator position is essential to effectively communicate with victims. The continuation of the VOCA-funded Victim Assistance Coordinator position has greatly aided and would greatly aid the Brazos County District Attorney's Office in the future when it comes to contacting victims of felony and juvenile crimes in Brazos County, as well as Child Protective Services victims and witnesses. The position has also increased the speed in which we meet with victims and increase the ability of our office to accompany victims to court in their time of need. The additional position has also allowed for us to create more In-depth relationships with victims, which has Increased trust in the criminal justice system generally,'and the Brazos County District Attorney's Office specifically. Supporting Data : There are about 3,000 cases currently filed in Brazos County District Courts. These cases consisted of over 2,100 felony cases and over 900 misdemeanor cases. We also have jurisdiction over all Juvenile cases and Child Protective Services cases. These numbers have increased with the ever growing population of Brazos County. In line with population growth projections for the state of Texas, Brazos County's population is expected to double in the next 35 years. According to the Texas Demographic Center, the state demographer's latest predictions show 419,114 people will populate Brazos County by 2050 -- more than double the 2015 population of 203,056. Notably, the current population estimate is double that of 1980 when the Census Bureau reported 93,588 residents in the county. In the next three and half decades, migration patterns will make Texas home to twice as many people with a total of 54.4 million inhabitants, according to the projections released earlier this week. Predictions for surrounding counties in the Brazos Valley also show increases in population, though none as great as Brazos County. According to former College Station City Manager Kelly Templin "Planning for an increased population will require more schools, roads to get to those schools, utilities to power them, police officers and firefighters to protect them". In addition to those much needed resources, with the increase In population there will be an Increase in crime and crime victims. Our office handles felony cases where we would provide victim assistance to families of murder victims, victims of sexual assault, child victims, robbery victims, financial crime victims and a host of others. The additional victim assistance coordinator position will continue to allow our office to effectively serve our victims and gives us the ability to accompany individuals to court in the most stressful time of their lives. Victims do not ask to be a part of a criminal case, when it comes time to meet with them and discuss trial and outcomes of cases, we have found that it helps on occasion to meet them in a place they feel most comfortable. Going to their home shows that we care enough to step out of our comfort zone in order for them to be comfortable In talking with us about one of the worst moments of their lives. Project Approach, & Activities: The Victim Assistance Coordinator position funded by VOLA funds has enhanced communication and information sharing between victims services and law enforcement. Over the past year with COVID-19 restrictions, we have maintained good lines of communication through added services like Zoom, Microsoft Teams and FaceTtme. Having a third person has only helped us in disposing of cases and getting victims the timely justice they deserve. The proposed position addresses Priority 1 (Increase resources, communication, information and staff available to local service organizations and law enforcement to serve the full needs of their clients in a timely manner) by having more staff to spread across a growing number of cases. By having the added position, we have been able to assist with cases from the very beginning. Often law enforcement agencies have even called us out to assist at crime scenes. Additionally, it helps maintain the Vol. 3Q,0 Pg. oZ professional standard of care our victims of violent crime, domestic violence, sexual violence and property crimes deserve. The proposed position addresses Priority 2 (Coordinated training for service and agency providers to meet the growing demand for victim support to match population growth) by monitoring the growth of our community and the direct correlation it has to the crime rate. The third position has helped us to keep up with that steady growth. It allows the Brazos County District Attorney's Office to liaison and work with providers such as Twin City Mission, The Sexual Assault Resource Center, Scotty's House Child Advocacy as well as law enforcement agencies by working hand in hand with them in order to aid victims in their recovery. The proposed position addresses Priority 3 (Increase victim's knowledge and access to licensed counselors and care for victims with mental health and substance abuse issues) by our continued working relationships throughout our community. While we do not have a licensed counselor on hand at the District Attorney's Office, we have good working relationship with counselors in private practice and at the school districts. So when the need does arise and we need to refer a victim out we have been able to have options to give to them. Our training has helped us to pick up on some signs and be able to talk with victims about options that are available for them, ultimately aiding in their healing process. The proposal addresses Priority 5 (Increase support to victims during the recovery process). By having the VOCA grant -funded position, It allows our Victim Assistance Coordinators to share the burden in a way that maximizes contact with each victim and increases our ability to meet their unique needs. Over the past year, our victim assistance division was able to maintain contact with victims and update them because they each had the time to do so. Additionally, the VOCA funded Victim Assistance Coordinator is a key part of the Every Victim Every Time Conference that serves over 1000 service providers each year in delivering more effective support to their victims. The Victim Assistance Division currently participates in the Regional Victim Services Task Force on a quarterly basis as well as the TDCJ Victim Services Division & Texas Crime Victim Clearinghouse team that reviews and rewrites the Victim Impact Statement every other year. Those participations would continue. Additionally, the Victim Assistance Coordinator position has been a key part in the creation of the Brazos County Care Coordination Team. A team dedicated to creating the policies and procedures on how to approach and handle Human Trafficking cases that are unfortunately becoming more and more prevalent In our society. The Victim Assistance Coordinator position has also provided much needed support and Information sharing to victims of felony crime, misdemeanor crime and juvenile crime on a regular basis. The approach used in the Brazos County District Attorney's Office Is one of Informing crime victims at every stage in the process. Victim Assistance Coordinators contact all victims by letter as soon as the case is received in our office. When a letter is not possible, we make phone calls to set up contact. We also contact them again to let the victims know that their case has been Indicted by the Grand Jury and advise them to stay In contact with our office if they have any questions. Victims also receive a victim impact statement so that they can express to our office and the court what physical, emotional and psychological toll this crime has had upon them and their family. In addition each time the defendant is set for a hearing, status or trial, a setting notice is sent to the victim in the case which allows them to be Informed and present in court at the defendant's hearing, plea, sentencing or trial. The proposed Victim Assistance Coordinator position will do court accompaniment for victims at any hearing they request or any day that there is a trial. Capacity & Capabilities: The Brazos County District Attorney's Office has more than 3,000 criminal cases that are in the three District Courts of Brazos County. To battle the ever-growing number of cases in each court, the grant Funded Victim Assistance Coordinator position has made our victim services more effective and proficient. By having a third person, our caseload is evenly divided, resulting in more individualized care to victims. Between the three victim assistance coordinators we have almost 50 years of combined experience and training. Our Victim'. Assistance Division currently has a large range of you experience helping a variety of victims during what is ultimately the hardest time of their life. With this wide range of experience and training, our coordinators are well equipped to handle the needs of Brazos County victims. While the requirements of the position require at least a high school diploma, our Victim Assistance Coordinators also have to be qualified to speak on a number of topics and has to have ektensive knowledge of the criminal justice system in order to relay all types and manners of proceedings and rulings to the victim in any particular case. Topics that range from Crime Victim Compensation to criminal statutes concerning victims' rights and restitution, and other matters that victims may need in order to help make the victim whole in each case. The Victim Assistance Coordinator must be able to work with all prosecutors, investigators and support staff within our office as well as work with the court staff, the Brazos County Adult Probation Department, Brazos County Collections, the Brazos County Juvenile Probation Department, and a host of state and local agencies in order to help provide support and restitution to victims of all types of felony and misdemeanor crimes that the Brazos County District Attorney's Office prosecutes. They also accompany victims and families of victims to trial and explain, on a dally basis, what may have happened in court and what victims can expect to happen in the future. Performance Management: Performance Management: Goals - create an assistance division within the office that coordinates services for all felony crime victims in Brazos County.

This is done by sending an init�l letter to the victim along with a pamphlet explaining the process within 2 weeks of our office receiving the case. It is also done by face-to-face meetings with the victim once the case has been indicted by the grand jury. Measures.- keep a log of these letters, phone calls, and meetings. Separate by type of crime and month of contact. • To collaborate with community agencies by referring victims to resources within the county that can better assist their needs once those needs have been identified by a meeting or phone conversation once the case is pending in our office. Measures - keep a refertal log for all victim referrals outside of the office. Identify type of crime and type of referral. Meet with referral agencies regularly to staff these cases and receive updates on services provided • To collaborate with community agencies by attending task force meetings, coalition meetings and any other group event that will enhance a communication network between the agencies Measures - log monthly meetings and identify which agencies are in attendance. Target Group Our target group is any person that is a victim of felony crime, misdemeanor crime that is associated In Brazos County. In addition, we will target misdemeanor offenses that have been filed in the three District Courts In Brazos County. Currently there are over 3,000 cases Vd. pg. that are filed in the three District Courts. In line with population growth projections for the state of Texas, Brazos County's population is expected to double In the next 35 years. The state demographer's latest predictions show 419,114 people in Brazos County by 2050 -- twice the 2015 population of 203,056. Notably, the current population estimate is double that of. 1980 when the Census Bureau reported 93,588 residents In the county. This is consistent with increases statewide. By the year 2050 the State of Texas will be home to over 54 million •people, which Is twice its current population. Evidence -Based Practices: our project approach is based on the belief that coordination of communication and services for each crime victim allows them to be part of the criminal justice process. This approach is supported by Art. 56.02, 56.021 and 56.04 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. This in turn facilitates a relationship with the victim that better enhances the case, allowing the Brazos County District Attorney's Office to . prosecute these cases with better results. Victims often feel left out of the process or that they have no voice. If we can overcome some of these feelings by utilizing our victim coordinators to build relationships with these victims and advocate for them to the officials working these cases, victims will be empowered by the process and that only strengthens what justice brings to everyone involved.

Program -Specific Questions Culturally Competent Victim Restoration Victim service providers must have the ability to blend cultural knowledge and sensitivity with victim restoration skills for a more effective and culturally appropriate recovery process. Cultural competency occurs when: (1) cultural knowledge, awareness and sensitivity are integrated into action and policy; (2) the service Is relevant to the needs of the community and provided by trained staff, board members, and management; and (3) an advocate or organization recognizes each client is different with different needs, feelings, ideas and barriers. Provide information in this section regarding how your organization is culturally competent when providing services to victims. Brazos County is home to Texas A&M University, -one of the largest universities in the United States. Texas A&M University draws students and professors from over 131 different countries around the world. Unfortunately, since domestic and sexual violence Is not unique to any culture, economic status, or race, we also see victims and offenders from a diverse group of cultural backgrounds. In many of these cultures, physical and sexual violence is normal, and victims are often surprised to see the seriousness that our law enforcement partners and our office take with domestic and sexual violence. Victims also have a variety of valid concerns about what reporting will mean for their livelihood and often their immigration status here in the United States. It Is Important to address these concerns with the victim in their own language, and over'the last several years we have reached out to translators in Spanish, Farsi, Mandarin, and Malay In order to make sure that our victims understand that we are there to help them, and will go the extra mile in order to address their unique situations and issues. In order to address cultural differences and unique issues facing our unique victim issues, our office has attended numerous trainings about victim services available to immigration families. We also have attended trainings about being aware and culturally sensitive In working with victims where domestic and sexual violence are an accepted part of everyday life. In addition, our office has researched and conducted tralnings on unconscious bias and approaching victims and offenders from different backgrounds. We pass this training on to our law enforcement partners through numerous trainings each year. Culturally Specific and Underserved Populations Following are relevant definitions rieeded'to answer this question. - Underserved populations means populations who face barriers In accessing and using victim services, and includes populations underserved because of geographic location, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, underserved racial and ethnic populations, populations underserved because of special needs (such as language barriers, disabilities, alienage status, or age), and any other population determined to be underserved by the Attorney.General or by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, as appropriate. - Culturally *specific means the program.is primarily directed toward racial and ethnic minority groups (as defined in section 1707(g) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 300u -6(g)). - Racial and ethnic minority group means American Indians (including Alaska Natives, Eskimos, and Aleuts); Asian Americans; Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders; Blacks; and Hispanics. - Hispanic means individuals whose origin is Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American, or any other Spanish-speaking country. Does your program have a primary focus on serving a culturally specific population? (The organization must do more than merely provide services to an underserved population or culturally specific group; rather, the organization's primary focus must be on providing culturally competent services designed to meet the specific needs of the target population in order to justify a YES response in the section below.) _ Yes X No If you answered 'YES' above, you must explain in the box below how your organization's program Is specifically designed to focus on and meet the needs of culturally specific populations. If this Item does not apply enter'N/A'. N/A State Priorities Provide a brief explanation regarding the proposed project's relevance to any or all of the following state priorities. If none of these Items apply enter 'NIA' Improving the criminal justice system response. Statistically, domestic violence and sexual assault are one of the least prosecuted and most misunderstood crimes in the criminal justice system. Having a specialized investigator and prosecutor has allowed our office to track the issues and barriers to successful prosecution in these cases. These barriers can include victim behavior and lack of evidence. Having a specialized investigator and prosecutor has allowed our office to track the issues and barriers to successful prosecution of domestic violence cases. Our prosecutor reviews each of the domestic violence and sexual assault cases that are presented to our office, and has conducted surveys among the patrol officers at the law enforcement agencies to identify the issues and problems that prevent a successful prosecution of domestic violence case. As a result, we have completely changed the paperwork the law enforcement agencies are using in domestic violence cases to prompt officer to identify high-risk victims, gather &tical evId nd"d regarding injukles 2nd symptoms of strangulation, and ldehtify•issues and barriers to a victim leaving a domestic violence situation. This paperwork is based on research from Johns Hopkins University, the Journal of Emergency Medicine, and was prepared in consultation with medical experts in strangulation cases. As a result of these forms, we only dismissed three cases for Insufficient evidence last year and only plead one strangulation case to a misdemeanor. Before the specialized unit, our office regularly dismissed domestic violence cases due to Insufficient evidence and victim recantation. This has led to victims feeling safer, protected, and trusting the criminal justice system In a way which did not exist prior to the creation of the Family Violence Unit. Improve court services regarding domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking. Court services have been greatly strengthened by the addition of a specialized prosecutor and investigator. With the addition of these two positions, the District Courts have been able to have a consistent contact In the District Attorney's Office regarding domestic violence and sexual assault cases. Each court has at least two prosecutors that are assigned domestic violence, dating violence and stalking cases In that court. This has enabled the trial courts to set aside speciflc weeks in order to try cases involving domestic and sexual violence. These specialized dockets enable the District Attorney's Office to better resolve these cases in a timely manner. In addition to the services provided by the Felony District Courts, the addition of a prosecutor and an investigator has allowed the Justice of the Peace Courts, which set bond in the cases to have a consistent contact with the District Attorney's Office. We have worked with our local Justices of the Peace courts to help them understand the cycle of domestic violence and they now set bond conditions in all family violence cases. They also issue em erg ency.protective orders on a consistent basis. These conditions have allowed officers to quickly respond and arrest any family violence offender who Is continuing to harass or abuse his or her victim. The specialized unit also allows the prosecutor to be continuously updated on the status of defendants who continue to violate the conditions of their bond, revoke their bond where appropriate, and charge the defendant with new offenses such as violation of a protective order and violation of bond conditions. We have also secured the cooperation of our local Justices of the Peace and they are testifying in many cases where there is a violation of a protective order or a violation of bond conditions, thereby strengthening our case and increasing the amount of convictions for domestic violence abusers. Strengthen victim restoration. The Crimes Against Women Unit has strengthened victim restoration by immediately following-up with the victim following the offense. This Immediate follow-up and specialized staff has allowed us to combat many of the issues which arise In domestic violence cases after the police have left the scene. These issues include financial issues, housing difficulties, pressure from family or the abuser to recant, and continued violence against the victim. We have filed protective orders, sought bond conditions, referred to counseling and other support/advocacy organizations, assisted with crime victims' compensation, and obtained quick resolutions to cases. In addition, we have trained officers to identify the victims in a domestic disturbance case in an effort to decrease the number of victims arrested for defending themselves against their abuser. This has increased victim cooperation dramatically and Increased victim satisfaction with the criminal justice system. Increase collaboration and communications across all levels of government and among all victims services. The Crimes Against Women Unit has collaborated with other law enforcement agencies, advocacy organizations, and victim assistance groups. First, this last year we worked with the Texas Council on Family Violence to create a Domestic Violence High Risk team. Our office leads the team and works with all the local law enforcement agencies, our local domestic violence services provider, the local hospital, Mental Health Mental Retardation (MHMR), Child Protective Services (CPS), and the Probation Department to identify high-risk victims of domestic violence and provide a coordinated response to these situations. In our monthly meetings, we staff these cases and identify ways that we can coordinate what we need to do In order to combat domestic violence problems in these cases. Our specialized prosecutor also leads the Sexual Assault Resource Team (SART), which consists of repre4entatives from all local law enforcement agencies, advocacy groups, and medical community members. This team meets once a month to collaborate on sexual assault investigations and pending cases, in order to streamline services for the victim. Our specialized prosecutor and victim assistance coordinator are also on the board of the Brazos County Coalition Against Domestic Violence, which consists of local community members, victim advocates, law enforcement, and medical providers to raise awareness and funds for Phoebes Home, our local domestic violence shelter. Because of our specialized unit's leadership In our county, we have seen increased progress ant result in our regional effort to establish a Lethality Assessment Program (LAP) by applying for and securing a grant for training from the -Maryland Network Against Domestic Violence. This program, spearheaded by our office, and implemented in the summer of 2016, has allowed front-line officers to recognize high -danger victims of domestic violence, and Immediately connect them with services for these victims on the night they have been victimized. Because of our new unit and the Increased collaboration, our local domestic violence women's shelter has made contact with large numbers of women In high danger situations who previously have had no contact with victim services. Specifically, our research revealed that prior to the Introduction of the Lethality Assessment Program, Phoebe's Home averaged two domestic violence victims agreeing to receive services as a result of a referral from a law enforcement officer. In the first six months of the Lethality Assessment Program, over 142 victims agreed and received services from Phoebe's Home as a result of a law enforcement referral. Finally, our Family Violence Unit has also worked with our local law enforcement agencies to create a new family violence supplement that helps to Increase the effectiveness of domestic violence investigations at the crime scene. We have already seen excellent results from officers having guidance on questions to ask in these sensitive Investigations, including a marked increase in the number of strangulation cases which have enough evidence to be prosecuted. These changes would not have been possible without the specialized expertise and focus of a domestic violence prosecutor and investigator. Finally, we have created new and lasting relationships with the Texas A&M University Nursing program. They have worked with us in a number of cases to give expert testimony and consultation about domestic violence, strangulation and sexual assault cases (especially in the areas of physical and psychological trauma to victims). Additionally, our office has worked with the Justices of the Peace in our county as well as our local 911 professionals to update all individuals in their database who have no- contact provisions as part of their bond conditions. That Information is then available to all law enforcement personnel in the county. This type of collaboration keeps women safer in Brazos County. ------------- Certifications In addition to the requirements found in existing statute, regulation, and the funding announcement, this program requires applicant organizations to certify compliance with the following: Forensic Medical Examination Payments Health care facilities shall conduct a forensic medical examination of a victim of an alleged sexual assault if the victim arrived at the facility within 120 hours after the assault occurred and the victim consents to the examination.

In order to do this properly, the crimes must be quickly and professionally Investigated and prosecuted. The Crimes Against Women Unit is comprised of a prosecutor and an investigator that Is specially trained in the investigation and prosecution of physical and sexual violence in all forms. Along with these specially trained individuals whose sole focus is the prosecution of physical and sexual violence, the Crimes Against Women Unit consists of a prosecutor in each of our three District Courts that handles the domestic violence cases to court. These individuals, along with a Victim Assistance Coordinator that is 100% dedicated to physical and sexual violence cases make up the rest of the Crimes Against Women Unit. Our Victim Assistance Coordinator meets with a victim within seven days of the crime to inform her of the criminal process, answer any questions she may have,.and gather information about the offense and the offender that is necessary for prosecution. The prosecutor and investigator is in charge of gathering physical, testimonial, and medical evidence and presenting that evidence to the grand jury. Having a prosecutor and investigator that is solely focused on physical and sexual violence has resulted in the quicker resolution of cases and has improved services to victims of domestic- violence -and sexual assault in Brazos County. According to the 2014 Brazos Valley Council of Governments Regional Criminal ]ustice Plan, the Brazos County population in 2020 will be over 240,000 people. Over 118,000 of those citizens will be women who could be eligible for this program. A staggering 92% of our victims of physical and sexual violence are women. Currently, over 50% of all felony violent crime in Brazos County Involves physical and sexual violence. A specialized unit that Is created to tackle the domestic violence and sexual assault cases In Brazos County has benefited and will continue to benefit countless women and children who are living in homes where domestle violence is prevalent. Problem Statement : Victims of domestic and sexual violence suffer from a variety of unique Issues when they are dealing with a criminal case. In many cases, the victims know the assailant, often Intimately. This relationship presents unique challenges in the criminal investigation and prosecution, as the offender Is frequently the only financial provider for the victim, and the victim has been conditioned for a long period of time to accept the physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. As a result, the victim can feel guilty, embarrassed, and disloyal for reporting the abuse to authorities or cooperating with law enforcement. Consequently, the victims in domestic or sexual violence are often uncooperative and challenging. They can lie to protect the abuser, or minimize the abuser's conduct. Specialized training and experience is needed to both understand the psychology of the victim's behavior, as well as strategies of overcoming the unique challenges of these cases. A specialized prosecutor and investigator, who are trained in the area of domestic and sexual violence, can better understand and address the challenges of these cases during every phase of the criminal justice process and beyond. This understanding has and will continue to lead to more successful, trusting relationships with our victims and allow for a more successful prosecution, regardless of the victim's cooperation. Supporting Data : An analysis of the Brazos County felony dispositions has shown good Insight into the problems of domestic violence in our county. In 2019 calendar year, we filed 221 new domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking cases. In that same period, we convicted 155 defendants of family violence offenses and sentenced an additional 24 to deferred adjudication. We have seen a marked increase in the number of strangulation cases and the number of violation of a protective order or violation of bond condition cases. In the past, the lack of a specialized prosecutor has not allowed our office to track family violence cases to discover what were the Issues and barriers to successful prosecution. Because we now have a specialized prosecutor and investigator, we have begun to combat several of the problems in the investigation and lengthy court process that existed prior to prosecution. In the last year, we have placed a special significance on strangulation cases, making efforts to better train law enforcement on recognizing the signs and symptoms of strangulation, and teaching them the importance of medical intervention both for the victim. This education helped us gather the necessary information to only dismiss one strangulation case for insufficient evidence and achieve a net prison rate of 52.17% for these highly dangerous cases. The other 23% of our family violence cases are divided between violation of a protective order/bond conditions, sexual assault and attempted sexual assault, stalking, assault family violence strangulation with a prior, and murder. 10% of disposed misdemeanor cases were violation of protective order cases. In the past, the lack of a specialized prosecutor has not allowed our office to track family violence. cases to discover what were the issues and barriers to sudcessful prosecution. Because we now have a specialized prosecutor and investigator, we have begun to combat several of the problems in the investigation and lengthy court process that existed prior to prosecution. In the last year, we -have placed-a:special significance on defendants who are repeat family violence offenders. In this last fiscal year, 63% of defendants charged with Assault f=amily Violence with a Prior Conviction; 80% of defendants charged with Assault Family Violence by Strangulation with a Prior, and 89% of defendants charged with Violation of a Protective Order/Bond Condition by Assault were sent to prison. This targeted approach towards repeat offenders by our specialized unit is borne out by these numbers, which helps victims and the community have confidence our office's ability to protect these victims and ensure the safety of the community. Project Approach & Activities: The Crimes Against Women Unit's approach to decreasing the prevalence of domestic violence is grounded In the literature that speaks about the cycle of violence. Often individuals who are in abusive relationships are psychologically and emotionally abused as well, causing them to believe they shouldn't leave or cannot leave their current relationship. While these victims may call the police to stop a person for physically assaulting them, more often than not the victims are still easy prey for their abusive partners. Manipulation of the victim continues after the defendant is incarcerated. There may be pressure In those cases from the defendant or his family to -drop charges and pretend nothing happened. The Crimes Against Women Unit has addressed Priority 1 of the Brazos Valley Council of Governments by Increasing resources and staff to enhance service to clients. The Crimes Against Women Unit has broken the cycle of violence with great success because we are meeting with victims early in the process, and addressing the barriers to successful prosecution. Before the implementation of the Crimes Against Women Unit, victims may not visit with a prosecutor until six months after Indictment, may have no protection against their abuser in the Interim, and may not understand the resources available to leave an abusive situation. Our unit has cut this time down to around seven days between the offense date and the first contact from the District Attorney's Office. Because of this new approach, our office gets better information as to what actually happened on the night of the offense. On many occasions, we have been able to get pictures of bruises not noticeable on the date of the offense. We are also able to gather background information about other Instances where there may have been physical vlolence,'stalking behaviors or emotional abuse. These behaviors are all critical to a jury when deciding the punishment of a particular domestic violence defendant for the crimes Vol. Pg. �iiq Delegation of Responsibility Brazos County, Texas As of, I have delegated responsibility to assist in the planning of the Brazos County COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution Operations, in Brazos County, Texas to the Brazos Valley Incident Management Team.
