Agenda Item Text:
Approve Grant Agreement 2025-043 between the Arizona Attorney General's Office and the Cochise County Sheriff's Office for the continuation of funding assistance for personnel who perform Victims' Rights Services, in the amount of $9,600, effective July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025.
Background:
The Cochise County Sheriff's Office has applied for and received a Victims' Rights grant from the State of Arizona Office of the Attorney General for the past 25 years. This funding is sought to help pay the salary and benefits for the Victims' Rights Staff within the Sheriff's Office. The position is responsible for providing statutorily mandated services to crime victims within Cochise County.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
The Cochise County Sheriff's Office will continue to utilize the funds received from the Arizona Attorney General's Office to allow personnel to provide Victims' Rights Services to victims by phone, email, and US Mail, to relay pertinent information regarding their case. The case information provided is mandated by Arizona State Law and allows for communication between law enforcement, the courts, and the victims of crime. The final document of acceptance of this funding is the signature page that must be signed by the Cochise County Attorney and the Board of Supervisors before any money is received.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
If this grant is not approved, additional funds must be located within the Cochise County General Fund to meet this mandate.
To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:
Please send two signed originals back to the Cochise County Sheriff's Office, attention Victims' Rights, for the proper completion of the process and allowance for funding to be received from the State.
