Approve the Crime Victim Compensation Grant No. VC-23-002 between the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission and the Cochise County Attorney's Office in the amount of $87,991, effective July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.

The Grant also includes $13,000 in ARPA Federal Funds. The primary purpose of the ARPA funds is to supplement state efforts to provide financial compensation to crime victims for costs resulting from crime, and to encourage victim cooperation and participation in the criminal justice system.
