Agenda Item Text:
Approve Grant Agreement 2024-043, with the Arizona Attorney General's Office for the continuation of funding assistance for personnel who perform Victims' Rights services for the Cochise County Sheriff's Office, in the amount of $9,600, effective July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024.
Background:
The Cochise County Sheriff's Office has applied for, and has been the recipient of, Victims' Rights grant funding from the State of Arizona Office of the Attorney General for the past 24 years. This funding has been sought to help pay the salary and benefits for the Victims' Rights Clerk within the Sheriff's Office. This 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 U.S. mail, in order to relay pertinent information regarding their case. The case information provided is mandated by Arizona State Law and allows for the communication between law enforcement, courts and the victims of crime. The final document for acceptance of this funding is in the signature page that must be signed by the Cochise County Attorney and the Board of Supervisors prior to any money being 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.
