Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve grant agreement 2017-043 with the Arizona Attorney General's Office in the amount of $15,093 for the continuation of funding assistance for personnel who perform Victim Rights services for the Sheriff's Office for the period of July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017.
Background:
The Cochise County Sheriff's Office has applied for and been the recipient of grant funding from the State of Arizona Office of the Attorney General for the past twenty years. The funding has been sought to help pay the salary and benefits for a Victim Rights Clerk within the Sheriff's Office. This position is responsible for providing statutorily mandated services to crime victims within Cochise County and our service levels would not be as successful without the Attorney General funding.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
The Cochise County Sheriff's Office will continue to utilize the funds received from the Arizona Attorney General to allow personnel to provide services that include Victim contact by phone, email, US mail in order to relay pertinent information regarding their case. The information provided is mandated by Arizona State law and allows for open communication between law enforcement, courts, and the victim in instances of a crime being perpetrated against them.
The final document for acceptance of this funding is in a signature page that must be signed by the Cochise County Attorney and the Board of Supervisors prior to any money being received.

To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:
Please send two signed originals back to the Cochise County Sheriff's Office, Attention Victim Rights for proper completion of the process and allowance for funding to be received from the state.
