5) AGENCY DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY:
The mission of the Eagle County Sheriff's Office' (ECSO) seventy-three (73) employees is to promote and maintain a sense of
safety among the citizens and guests of Eagle County. Within the ECSO, the Victim Services Unit (VSU) was created in 1990 to
serve any victim of crime or critical incident in Eagle County. In 2011 the VSU served almost 800 victims by addressing their
immediate health and safety needs or helping them navigate the criminal justice system. This is accomplished most often upon
request of a law enforcement officer during the initial report of a crime or by initiating contact with victims when new arrestees are
brought to the detention center. Advocates may explain bond procedures, vide crisis intervention by phone or at the scene of the
lnO Y P
crime, support victims during hospital exams or interviews and in some cases provide court support throughout the trial and
sentencing. This applies to any crime under the Victims' Rights Amendment (VRA) but almost forty (40) percent of the clients
served in 2011 were victims of domestic violence.
The ECSO consistently provides opportunities for staff/volunteer training in order to maintain the highest standards in victim
services and fiscal responsibility. The VSU was awarded a VOCA grant for 2011which was renewed for 2012 and is financially
overseen by the Sheriff's Administrative Manager and the County's umy's Finance Department.
6) DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT(S) FOR WHICH FUNDS ARE BEING REQUESTED:
Project 1: The continuing goal of this project is to enlarge and strengthen the existing VSU program by funding professional
contractor(s) who will provide service in two areas:
- 50% of his/her time will involve direct victim services as a Victim Advocate, including but not limited to those described in the
Victims Rights Act (VRA).
- 50% will be as the Volunteer Coordinator responsible for recruiting, training, scheduling, and managing the volunteers to allow
more service to crime victims to meet their emotional and physical needs.
As time allows additional outreach programs to identify new/tmreporting victims of crimes will be implemented in an effort to reach
underserved populations.

8) PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF NEED FOR THE PROPOSED ACTIVITIES IN YOUR COMMUNITY:
The most essential need for the VSU is staffing. The VSU began in 1990 with one full time employee. In 2007 the VSU was
finally able to hire a full-time Bilingual Victim Advocate with partial funding from the local VALE board. On behalf of the VSU,
the Bilingual Victim Advocate meets with Spanish - speaking victims to interpret during police investigations, in discussions about
safehouse arrangements, and at the Advisements hearing. She often translates witness statements for investigating officers and
I Victim Impact Statements for the Prosecutor's office. Obviously when the VSU's Bilingual Victim Advocate handles translations
for law multiple law enforcement enforcement agencies and for the District Attorney's Office she has less time for direct service to
VSU clients even though it benefits victims in general.
The Office of the District Attorney has one victim advocate and no one in the office who speaks Spanish. With such a limited
victim program at the DA's Office, support by the VSU staff for victims continues far beyond the initial stage of crisis intervention,
emotional support, and community referrals. VSU staff offer ongoing support to many of the victims as they move through the court 'r
system.
The VSU is a small department and Eagle County has some challenging demographics. Victim Services Unit staff provide services
to a diverse population that includes multimillionaires near the ski areas and those living below the poverty line, estimated at
roughly nine percent. The county's population varies from 52,197 (2010 Census estimates) to over 125,000 throughout the year.
The county is bisected by Interstate 70. Transportation counts indicate as many as 39,200 people pass through Eagle County on a
given day and may fmd themselves needing assistance.
Residents live in seven (7) incorporated and ten (10) un- incorporated communities serviced by five (5) municipal police departments
and the Sheriff's Office. Four of those five agencies have no staff to assist crime victims. One department has an Administrative
Assistant with training in victim advocacy but extremely limited time to provide direct service to victims. Therefore the VSU
provides services to ANY crime victim upon request, including those in remote areas like El Jebel and Bond.
In 2008, the Sheriffs Office commissioned an independent staffing audit with Voorhis Associates, Inc. which documented a
disturbing trend in Eagle County's unincorporated areas. The violent crime rate exceeds that of the state as a whole, running at 18%
between 2000 and 2006. Increased violent crimes result in more traumatized victims who require more complex assistance and
longer term support.
In order to
provide the foregoing victim services the VSU could not function without its volunteers. However, the percentage of
hours that volunteers are available for on -call duty coverage has declined steadily from a high of 57.5% in 2004 to 19% in 2011. As
the number of victims served increases the amount of time available for volunteer retention, recruitment and training decreases.
I The number of victims served has fluctuated over the years with a high of 778 in 2010 and a low of 394 in 2005. During the last
three years, new victims numbered 458 in 2009, 778 in 2010 and 773 in 2011.
Basically, the VSU team is saturated. They have managed to keep afloat by informally triaging their services to those most in need,
to those who request it, and relying on the help of police officers/deputies to offer VRA mandated services at the crime scene when
the VSU staff is simply not available due to limited resources.
Hiring a third, full -time person as Victim Advocate/Volunteer Coordinator would help the VSU extend its victim services but that is
not an option due to anticipated budget cuts. Professional/contract services are the only way to maintain high quality services to
crime victims and re- invigorate the volunteer program

10 UNDERSERVED / UNDERREPRESENTED POPULATIONS:
Please answer the following questions in the box below:
A. Describe the underserved / underrepresented population in the community you serve (e.g. the ethnicity of victims served, etc.).
How is the underserved population(s) determined? Cite your source(s).
B. State how you address the needs of the underserved/underrepresented populations in your community (e.g. the diversity of
staff, volunteers and/or board representation, etc.).
C. Is any portion of your project specifically designed to serve underserved and /or underrepresented populations?
® Yes ❑ No
D. If you checked "Yes" above, what percentage of your grant request will be used to serve your underserved populations?
, .C1�
The largest underserved population in Eagle County is the Hispanic community. 2010 U.S. census estimates 30.1% of the county rye
population is Hispanic and 30.7% of the county are people who do not speak English. However the Eagle County School District's
annual report for 2010 -2011 states that 51% of students are Hispanic and 2,120 have limited or non - English proficiency. The
underserved in our community also includes growing numbers of new immigrants from Eastern Europe and Western Africa.
The geography of Eagle County with its mountainous terrain, heavy snowfalls, limited roadways, and Waal communities contribute
to pockets of the county where there are underserved residents simply due to their distance from the Sheriffs Office. For example,
Bond and McCoy are towns situated close to if not on the county's northern border. These small communities have no Marshall's
Office or Police Department but do house a small fire station. Unless the incident is severe or a death is involved, the residents
choose to handle situations themselves rather than calling the Sheriffs Office. Another challenge is that one of the five
municipalities, Basalt, is located more than an hour's driving time away from the Sheriffs Office. Basalt deputies can handle calls
for service, but need to relocate defendants to Eagle for extended jail time. To support victims in these crimes, VSU staff must,
when needed, travel extensive distances to meet with these victims. Location of resources is also a factor. A SANE exam requires a
drive to Frisco or Glenwood Springs, Roundtrip from Eagle to Frisco is almost three hours drive time in good weather. The nearest
Child Advocacy Center is in Glenwood Springs to accompany a victim for a forensic interview easily takes 2-4 hours.
If the Contract Victim Advocate is funded, it will indirectly affect the activities of the Victim Services Unit Coordinator and the
Bilingual Victim Advocate. Instead of just receiving a VRA brochure, a team of three advocates, working 100 hours each week on
direct services instead of 80, will have one third more time to respond to victims. Instead of having the arresting police
officer /deputy hand the victim a brochure, a third person in the VSU will allow more immediate crisis intervention, necessary to
begin building a relationship between the VSU advocates and the victim. A third person on the team will provide more people to
share the on -call duty, very much needed to minimize staff burn -out. By having the third advocate take over activities to recruit,
train, schedule, and manage the volunteers, the other two advocates will have more time to devote to direct victim services. With
more time to devote to direct victim services, the Bilingual Victim Advocate will interact with more of the underserved crime
victims in the county.

The VSU currently has only 2 county employees to provide services to clients. To meet the needs of approximately 800 clients
served annually we need an additional advocate and more volunteer coverage. The ultimate goal is to expand the VSU based on a
professional staffing audit that recommended the VSU add another FTE to the unit. However we cannot hire additional staff due to
the agency's current fiscal policies. We must continue using contract provider(s) due to an anticipated 26% decrease in property tax
revenue for 2012
The hourly rate of $26.00 is the standard contract rate for this type of service in Eagle County. The VSU is currently contracting
with one provider and may add another at the same rate to ensure delivery of high quality services for victims.
If funding is approved VSU will submit DCJ Form 16 and original contract agreement(s).

3. NEW PROGRAMS
Those programs that have not yet demonstrated a record of providing services may be eligible to receive
VOCA funding, if they can demonstrate that 25-50 percent of their financial support comes from non - federal
sources. It Is important that organizations have a variety of funding sources besides federal funding in order
to ensure their financial stability. States are responsible for establishing the base level of non - federal
support required within the 25-50 percent range.
4. PROGRAM MATCH REQUIREMENTS
The purpose of matching contributions is to Increase the amount of resources available to the projects
supported by grant funds. Matching contributions of 20% (cash or in -kind) of the total cost of each VOCA
project (VOCA grant plus match) are required for each VOCA-funded project and must be derived from non-
federal sources, except as provided In the OJP Financial Guide, effective edition (Part III. Post Award
Requirements, Chapter 3. Matching or Cost Sharing). All funds designated as match are restricted to the
same uses as the VOCA victim assistance funds and must be expended within the grant period. Match
must be provided on a project-by-project basis. Any deviation from this policy must be approved by OVC.
For the purposes of this program, in -kind match may Include donations of expendable equipment, office
supplies, workshop or classroom materials, work space, or the monetary value of time contributed by
professionals and technical personnel and other skilled and unskilled labor, if the services they provide are
an integral and necessary part of a funded project The value placed on donated services must be
consistent with the rate of compensation paid for similar work In the subreciplent's organization. If the
required skills are not found in the subreciplent's organization, the rate of compensation must be consistent
with the labor market. In either case, fringe benefits may be Included In the valuation. The value placed on
loaned or donated equipment may not exceed Its fair market value. The value of donated space may not
exceed the fair rental value of comparable space as established by an independent appraisal of comparable
space and facilities in privately owned buildings In the same locality.
a. Record Keeping. VOCA recipients and their subrecipients must maintain records that clearly show
the source, the amount, and the period during which the match was allocated. The basis for
determining the value of personal services, materials, equipment, and space must be documented.
Volunteer services must be documented, and to the extent feasible, supported by the same
methods used by the subrecipient for its own paid employees. The state has primary responsibility
for subreclplent compliance with the requirements. State grantees are encouraged not to require
excessive amounts of match.
b. Exceptions to the 20% match: OVC sets lower match requirements for
I. Native American TribeslOrganlzations Located on Reservations. The match for new or
existing VOCA subreclplents that are Native American tribes/organizations located on
reservations is 5% (cash or In -kind) of the total VOCA project. For the purpose of this
grant, a Native American tribe /organization Is defined as any tribe, band, nation, or other
organized group or community which Is recognized as eligible for the special programs
and services provided by the U.S. to Native Americans because of their status as Native
Americans. A reservation Is defined as a tract of land set aside for use of, and occupancy
by, Native Americans.
11. The U.S. Virgin Islands, and all other territories and possessions of the U.S., except
Puerto Rico, are not required to match VOCA funds. See 48 U.S.C. 1469a(d).
111. OVC may waive the match requirement If extraordinary need is documented by State
VOCA administrators.
5. VOLUNTEERS
The Grantee Agency must use volunteers unless the state grantee determines there Is a compelling reason
to waive this requirement A "compelling reason" may be a statutory or contractual provision concerning
liability or confidentiality of counselor /victim information, which bars using volunteers for certain positions, or
the Inability to recruit and maintain volunteers after a sustained and aggressive effort.
6. PROMOTE COMMUNITY EFFORTS TO AID CRIME VICTIMS
Promote, within the community, coordinated public and private efforts to aid crime victims. Coordination
may Include, but Is not limited to, serving on state, federal, local, or Native American task - forces,
commissions, working groups, coalitions, and /or multi - disciplinary teams. Coordination efforts also include
developing written agreements that contribute to better and more comprehensive services to crime victims.
Coordination efforts qualify an organization to receive VOCA victim assistance funds, but are not activities
that can be supported with VOCA funds.
Rev. October 2012
SPECIAL PROVISIONS AND CERTIFIED ASSURANCES SPCA PAGE 11 of 18
Special Provisions & Certified Assurances must remain attached to the approved application
7. HELP VICTIMS APPLY FOR COMPENSATION BENEFITS
Such assistance may Include identifying and notifying crime victims of the availability of compensation,
assisting them with application forms and procedures, obtaining necessary documentation, and/or checking
on claim status.
8. COMPLY WITH FEDERAL RULES REGULATING GRANTS
The Grantee Agency must comply with the applicable provisions of VOCA, the Program Guidelines, and the
requirements of the OJP Financial Guide, effective edition, which includes maintaining appropriate
programmatic and financial records that fully disclose the amount and disposition of VOCA funds received.
This includes: financial documentation for disbursements; daily time and attendance records specifying time
devoted to allowable VOCA victim services; client files; the portion of the project supplied by other sources
of revenue; job descriptions; contracts for services; and other records which facilitate an effective audit.
9. MAINTAIN CIVIL RIGHTS INFORMATION
Maintain statutorily required civil rights statistics on victims served by race, national origin, sex, age, and
disability, within the timetable established by the state grantee; and permit reasonable access to its books,
documents, papers, and records to determine whether the subrecipient is complying with applicable civil
rights laws. This requirement is waived when providing a service, such as telephone counseling, where
soiiciting the information may be inappropriate or offensive to the crime victim.
10. COMPLY WITH STATE CRITERIA
The Grantee Agency must abide by any additional ellglblilty or service criteria as established by the state
grantee including submitting statistical and programmatic information on the use and impact of VOCA funds,
as requested by the State grantee.
11. SERVICES TO VICTIMS OF FEDERAL CRIMES
The Grantee Agency must provide services to victims of federal crimes on the same basis as victims of
state/locai crimes.
12. NO CHARGE TO VICTIMS FOR VOCA - FUNDED SERVICES
The Grantee Agency must provide services to crime victims, at no charge, through the VOCA-funded
project. Any deviation from this provision requires prior approval by the state grantee. Prior to authorizing
subreciplents to generate income, OVC strongly encourages administrators to carefully weigh the following
considerations regarding federal funds generating income for subreciplent organizations.
a. The purpose of the VOCA victim assistance grant program is to provide services to all crime victims
regardless of their ability to pay for services rendered or availability of insurance or other third -party
payment resources. Crime victims suffer tremendous emotional, physical, and financial losses. it
was never the intent of VOCA to exacerbate the impact of the crime by asking the victim to pay for
services.
b. State grantees must ensure that they and their subrecipients have the capability to track program
income In accordance with federal financial accounting requirements. All VOCA funded program
and match income, no matter how large or small, is restricted to the same uses as the VOCA grant.
Program income can be problematic because of the required tracking systems needed to monitor
VOCA - funded income and ensure that it is used only to make additional services available to crime
victims. For example: VOCA often funds only a portion of a counselor's time, Accounting for
VOCA program income generated by this counselor is complicated, Involving careful record
keeping by the counselor, the subreciplent (Grantee Agency) program, and the state.
13. CLIENT — COUNSELOR CONFIDENTIALITY
Maintain confidentiality of client- counselor information, as required by state and federal law.
14. CONFIDENTIALITY OF RESEARCH INFORMATION
Except as otherwise provided by federal law, no recipient of monies under VOCA shall use or reveal any
research or statistical information furnished under this program by any person and identifiable to any specific
private person for any purpose other than the purpose for which such information was obtained in
accordance with VOCA. Such information, and any copy of such information, shall be Immune from legal
process and shall not, without the consent of the person furnishing such information, be admitted as
evidence or used for any purpose in any action, suit, or other judicial, legislative, or administrative
proceeding. See Section 1407(d) of VOCA codified at 42 U.S.C. 10604.
Rev. October 2012
SPECIAL PROVISIONS AND CERTIFIED ASSURANCES SPCA PAGE 12 of 18
Special Provisions & Certified Assurances must remain attached to the approved application
These provisions are intended, among other things, to ensure the confidentiality of information provided by
crime victims to counselors working for victim services programs receiving VOCA funds. Whatever the
scope of application given this provision, it is clear that there is nothing in VOCA or its legislative history to
Indicate that Congress intended to override or repeal, in effect, a state's existing law goveming the
disclosure of Information which Is supportive of VOCA's fundamental goal of helping crime victims. For
example, this provision would not act to override or repeal, In effect, a state's existing law pertaining to the
mandatory reporting of suspected child abuse. (See Pennhurst School and Hospital v. Haiderman, et al.,
451 U.S. 1 (1981).) Furthermore, this confidentiality provision should not be interpreted to thwart the
legitimate informational needs of public agencies. For example, this provision does not prohibit a domestic
violence shelter from acknowledging, in response to an inquiry by a law enforcement agency conducting a
missing person Investigation, that the person is safe in the shelter. Similarly, this provision does not prohibit
access to a victim service project by a federal or state agency seeking to determine whether federal and
state funds are being utilized in accordance with funding agreements.
E. PROGRAM SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
The following program specific requirements are imposed by the State sponsoring agency concerning special
requirements of law, program requlrements, and other administrative requirements which must be passed on to grant
award recipients. These requirements are more likely to change from year -to -year than the special provisions and
federal certified assurances shown above, and usually vary across offices within the Division.
1. FUTURE FUNDING
The capacity for VOCA funds to provide future continuation dollars for projects Is undetermined at this time.
Grantee Agencies are advised to seek other funding sources, especially for personnel dollars.
2. STATE CONFIDENTIALITY OF VICTIMS INFORMATION
The Grantee Agency certifies that the signing authorities, all staff and volunteers assigned to the VOCA-
funded project have read and understood, state laws and applicable rules of professional conduct related to
issues of confidentiality and privilege, particularly with respect to releasing identifying information about
victims of crime, including, but not limited to, those found in C.R.S. §13-90 -107.
3. REDUCING TEXT MESSAGING WHILE DRIVING
Pursuant to Executive Order 13513, "Federal Leadership on Reducing Text Messaging While Driving ",
74 Fed. Reg. 51225 (October 1, 2009), along with the Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs,
Office for Victims of Crime, the State encourages the Grantee Agency to adopt and enforce policies banning
employees from text messaging while driving any vehicle during the course of performing work funded by
this grant, and to establish workplace safety policies and conduct education, awareness, and other outreach
to decrease crashes caused by distracted drivers.
4. The Grantee Agency understands and agrees that It cannot use any federal funds, either directly or
indirectly, in support of any contract or subaward to either the Association of Community Organizations for
Reform Now (ACORN) or its subsidiaries, without the express prior written approval of OJP.
5. Grantee Agency shall notify the Office for Victims Programs (OVP) if the agency has obtained funding for a
specific (OVP) funded position which totals more than 100% of the cost for that position. The agency must
resolve the allocation of funds to the satisfaction of the Division of Criminal Justice.
8. Grantee Agency must notify the Office for Victims Programs (OVP) immediately in writing, via email or
regular mail, of:
any OVP grant funded personnel changes;
- any OVP grant funded position that is vacant for 45 days;
any change of an Official and /or employee who is listed as responsible signatory on this OVP grant
funded project.
