Please provide a brief description of your entire organization, including details of different units and staffmg. The Elgin Police Department has a total of 180 sworn officers and 92 civilian employees. It now consists of the following main units: -- Chief of Police and the Deputy Chief and adminstration assistants. They handle planning and research, budget,payroll, internal compliance and training. All the following units report to the Chief of Police. -- Operations, headed by the Operations Commander, consists of three patrol shifts, crisis negotiation, tactical response, and communications (dispatch). -- Investigations, headed by the Investigations Commander,handles both adult and juvenile crime investigations and includes gang and narcotic crimes. This unit also includes technical services, records and evidence, and social services (also known as Victims Services). --Administration, headed by the Administrations Commander, provides administration support, adjudication, media relations, traffic and parking law enforcement, crossing guards, special events, court liaisons,jail, asset management, facility management, and the information desk. Elgin is centered along the banks of the Fox River, and is located approximately 38 miles northwest of Chicago. Community-oriented policing has been the Elgin Police Department's mode of operation for 20 years. Community-oriented policing involves a collaborative effort among police officers and citizens to lessen crime and to change conditions that contribute to social disorder. Community policing involves working with the public and private agencies, local businesses, schools, churches, and residents to improve the community and forge a lasting partnership between community members and the Police Department. The Social ServicesNictims Assistance Services Unit was established 21 years ago as part of the community-oriented policing initiative. 2. Besides the services funded through this VOCA grant, what (if any) other victim services does your agency provide? Include examples of how these services are coordinated with the VOCA funded activities. The Victims Services Unit(also known as the Social Services Unit) was established in 1991 as an integral part of enhancing the community oriented policing concept. The mission of the unit is to provide another way for the community to interact with police to solve social problems that may develop into criminal behaviors and to help victims to recover from the impact of victimization. The Victims Assistance Coordinator's responsibilities are 1)to provide short-term individual and family counseling to crime victims, including direct victims and witnesses of violent crime, 2)work diligently with families and juveniles who are regularly in contact with the police to reduce their problematic behaviors, and 3) assist individuals and families making use of community resources and in navigating the judicial and school systems. The Victims Services Unit has strong partnerships with other social service agencies, the judicial system, churches, and schools to reduce criminal intent and activity by helping at-risk populations to meet their needs and resolve their conflicts in socially acceptable and legal ways. The Victims Assistance Coordinator is the only FTE of the unit. At any given time, there are between two and six graduate-level interns from local colleges reporting to the Victims Revised 4/12 5 Assistance Coordinator to assist in providing the unit's services. The interns are not paid for their services,but they are gaining the experience they need to complete their Masters program in social work or a related field. The Victims Assistance Coordinator supervises and directs these interns and works closely with their college supervisors to ensure the students achieve their goals while also successfully providing services to the individuals and families who seek help from the Victims Services Unit. Since the Coordinator oversees the VOCA funded DV Case Manager, who is a part time employee, she is aware of all of the DV victims and provides support and follow up as needed. 3.

This must include all direct services to be provided to crime victims with VOCA and match funds. Do not include a description of activities that will not be funded with VOCA or match funds. 1. Description of program: Please provide a description of your VOCA funded program. Include information on any efforts to target underserved victim populations listed above that are served by this program, such as minority, elderly or disabled populations. The Domestic Violence(DV)program of the Victims Services Unit at the Elgin Police Department provides services to victims of domestic violence and their family members. DV victims come from every population--female and male, young and elderly, all races and religions, wealthy and poor. The DV program is not limited to partner abuse. It also addresses family violence-- including violence between siblings, parents and their children, and roommates. In addition, the DV program provides services to children who witness violence in their homes. The primary DV program services include: --Review all DV police reports -- Contact the victims cited on the reports via phone or letter to offer services, information, and referrals --Assist victims who directly request help(with or without police reports) --Provide referrals to other community resources, mostly for legal advocacy and assistance in obtaining orders of protection, emergency shelter, and finanical aid --Provide crisis counseling/crisis intervention (including home visits when necessary) to victims and their family members --Provide personal advocacy --Assist victims in safety planning --When appropriate,head up support groups for victims who need this additional support The Domestic Violence(DV) Case Manager's primary goal is to contact as many victims as possible to offer information and services to help them and their children to be safe. To do this, the case manager makes as much use of other community resources as possible. For example, when victims wish to obtain help in resolving legal issues such as orders of protection, divorce, and custody of children, the DV Case Manager refers them to agencies who have specialized legal advocates. Victims in the Kane county area in Elgin are referred to the Community Crisis Center and Prairie State Legal Services for free legal assistance. Victims in the Cook County area in Elgin are referred to LifeSpan in Rolling Meadows for free legal assistance. However, the DV Case Manager will directly assist victims in obtaining orders of protection and provide criminal justice support when other agencies'legal advocates are not available within the critical timeframe. 2. Who oversees this program? Please include position titles and duties. (Do not include personal information.) Victims Assistance Coordinator; duties to the Domestic Violence Program include supervising the Domestic Violence Case Managers, submitting grant data reports and budget reports to grant monitors and to management of the Elgin Police Department and the City of Elgin, monitoring the budget, and providing direct services to victims of domestic violence as necessary, especially direct referrals to the case managers when victims call directly or are referred directly by the police officers.

The primary qualification for the Domestic Violence Case Manager position(s) is a Masters degree in social work or counseling. The primary qualification for the Victims Assistance Coordinator position is a Masters degree in social work or related area. For more details of qualifications see the attached job descriptions as required for the next item(c.). c. Please attach an updated job description for each position including duties and qualifications. If this position is not 100% VOCA-funded, asterisk the duties that apply to this program on the job description. Victims Compensation Program As a condition of receiving VOCA funds the Office on Victims of Crime (OVC) mandates that programs receiving VOCA funds must notify* all victims of the VOCA Victims Compensation program administered through the Office of the Illinois Attorney General. 4. Please explain how your agency informs victims of the VOCA Victims' Compensation program. During the intial follow-up call or in-person meeting with every victim, the Domestic Violence Case Manager informs the victim of the VOCA Victims'Compensation program. Whenever a victim cannot be reached by phone or in-person meeting, the victim receives this information in a letter from the Domestic Violence Case Manager. Also, the Victims' Compensation program is advertised in the office in flyers and brochures. Whenever a victim is interested, the Domestic Violence Case Manager will download the Victims'Compensation application from the State's Attorney's website and assist the victim in filling it out. Revised 4/12 8 *Notification is defined as simply advertising the Victims' Compensation program through posters or brochures publicly visible in the agency's office. Other options include: providing information and referrals concerning the program and assistance with the application. IV. Statement of Problem This section will help us understand why your program is important to crime victims that come into contact with your agency as well as the community you serve. This section should document the problem(s)the organization continues to face and justify a need for continued funding. 1. Use the table below to identify the crime(s) this program will target and provide three years of county level data for your service area. If your program does not target a specific type of crime please include the three highest crime rates for the victims this program serves for the jurisdiction your program serves. Data for Index offenses are available on the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority's (ICJIA) website or the publication, Crime in Illinois, produced by the Illinois State Police (ISP). 2007-2009 Type of crime: Type of crime: Type of crime: Domestic Violence 2,17, virEr.7-441127314.77774:z,toda,,,,i tri-yr I: 1,91 1,36 1,86: * If multiple counties are served by your VOCA funded program please list the counties served here, and accumulate the crime numbers above. The above numbers are for Kane County only,because the greater Elgin area is in Kane County.Only a small portion of Elgin is in Cook.Also,the above numbers represent the total number of Domestic Crime Offenses,not crime indexes,because these numbers come from the Supplemental portion of the Kane County portion of the Illinois State Police website as recommended in the instructions above.The reports on this website do not provide Crime indexes for Domestic Crimes.They provide only the total number of Domestic Crimes per year in the Supplemental sections of the annual reports. 2. What is the problem(s) your VOCA funded program has identified through its contact with the victim population served that this program addresses? (What do crime victims need that they would not get if not for the services provided through this program?) Safety is the key issue for victims of domestic violence but the majority of them lack knowledge of or access to community resources that can help them to leave their abusive partners safely. They also lack the emotionally support family and friends they need to follow through with utilizing community resources, including emergency shelter, victim compensation, crisis counseling, legal advocacy, etc. Of those victims who do have supportive extended family or friends,many victims would prefer to come to a neutral agency for help because they do not want to put their loved ones at risk.Victims who are ambiguous about their feelings toward their abusers and confused about their options for themselves and their children need to be able to explore those feelings in resolving these issues so they can make informed decisions 3. Use the space below to provide any anecdotal information based on the experiences of agency staff or other sources within your jurisdiction that may highlight the crime(s) and victims served through this program. Please do not use names or any other information that would identify a specific victim. Revised 4/12 9 The following are five examples of the victims served in the last grant period, the types of services that were provided, and the amount of time spent on each case: 1. Provided crisis counseling to a couple who had been abused by their adult son, and assisted them in improving their communication with each other and their son, including forming agreements and protecting their personal boundaries. The couple reported they were succesful at resolving the conflict with their son due to what they had learned in crisis counseling sessions. The case manager spent approximately 6 hours on this case. 2. Provided crisis counseling, in-person information and referrals, phone information and referrals, personal advocay, and home visits to a female victim of domesic violence. This was a young woman who had been physically and sexually abused by her husband. She had a past childhood history of physical abuse by her mother, and in addition,her mother managed to "work the system" and gain custody of the victim's children. This was the most severe and complicated case of this grant period. The victim currently reports doing better, still vulnerable due to fmancial strain, but becoming more independent every day. She reports doing well in her college classes and holding down a job and coping better with seeing her children only once a week. The victim reports she is majoring in Social Services, but she is also interested in the possiblity of pursuing a career in law to be able to improve the legal system so that no other victim will lose their children as she did. She reports feeling determined to make something good out her horrific experiences. The case manager spent approximately 40 hours during the last grant period to help this victim. 3. Provided crisis counseling, in-person information and referrals, and assistance in filling out victim compensation forms to a female victim. One of the referrals was to a dentist who was willing to help the client restore her teeth for no charge. The case manager spent approximately 5 hours helping this client. 4. Provided phone information and referrals and safety planning to a taxi cab driver who had been assulated when he was trying to help a woman passenger who was getting attacked by her boyfriend. The case manager spent about 1 hour helping this victim. 5. Provided couples counseling to a couple who had been equally abusive to each other. The case manager worked with this couple for an approximate total of 20 hours. They recently reported they have gotten married and are very happy and thankful to the case manager for her help. Revised 4/12 10 V. Goals and Objectives This section provides an overview of your program's accomplishments during the current performance period, and also helps us learn about what helped or hindered your program during this time. (This section should provide guidance as to whether objectives or program strategies should be modified for the upcoming year.) A universal goal was developed for your current grant program.

Not as many victims needed crisis counseling services;however,the ones who did required more hours of crisis counseling. Also, In general,there Revised 4/12 11 were fewer police reports of domesic violence, and police reports are the main source of referrals. We are not certain whether this indicates there were less incidents of domestic violence or just less reporting. Revised 4/12 12 1. What were the successes of your program during the current performance period? Include any anecdotal information that may highlight the crime(s) and victims served through this program. Do not use names or other information that would identify a specific victim. A couple who had been equally combative received several crisis counseling sessions and now report being happliy married. A family who received crisis counseling because their adult son had been abusive now report the family has been able to resolve their conflicts peacefully. A female victim of domestic violence reports she is managing her emotions much better and overall functioning better in her life with college and holding a full-time job due to the crisis counseling she received. Several victims report success in their ability to stay safe and rebuild their lives due to the help of the case manager. 2. What barriers did you experience in implementing your program during the current performance period? How did you respond to them? Include any anecdotal information that may highlight the crime(s) and victims served through this program. Please do not use names or other information that would identify a specific victim or a particular person. There has been a decrease in the number of written police reports on domestic battery, as shown in the goals section of this document. This decrease of police reports seems to indicate there have been less severe domestic violence incidents. Discussions with the patrol officers indicate there are less severe calls; however, calls for services involving verbal arguments and family conflicts are still high. Police officers clear and/or close these incidents with a dispatch code three; meaning, the issue was resolved and no report will be written because the officer used his own discretion to determine the incident was not serious enough to write a police report. We learned about this when a police officer sent an email to us requesting that we follow up on such an incident, but there was no police report that would provide the contact information. Upon further investigation, we learned that the officer cleared this incident with a code three, so no report was forth coming. We then asked the officer to provide contact information in order for us to follow up with the referral he had made. 3. Is there anything else you would like us to know based on your experiences with the current performance period? If so, please describe here. There seems to be an increase of family violence such as parent-child conflict and sibling conflict. Also, there seems to be more cases in which partners are equally combative as opposed to a clearly identified aggressor and/or victim. The state's child protection agency, DCFS, appears to be recommending to more victims to leave their abusive partners for the interest of the children. Revised 4/12 13 VI. Program Implementation The problem statement describes the issue(s) to be addressed in the following year. This section will tell us how these ends are going to be accomplished by describing how the VOCA grant as well as match funded activities will be implemented in clear, logical detail and should explain how your program will achieve its goals and objectives and work to resolve the issues addressed. 1. Please describe the specific activities each staff member (federal and match funded) under this program will provide to crime victims and explain how those activities benefit your target population. Domestic Violence Case Manager's Activities and Benefits to Victims: -- Review police reports on DV incidents and contact victims via phone or letter to offer information, services, and referrals. Victims will benefit from this service because they will learn that help is available to them at no cost to them, which is the first step in breaking their isolation and empoweres them with knowledge and hope that with help they can end the abuse in their lives. -- Provide crisis counseling, including safety planning, to victims and their family members, including home visits when necessary. This service will help victims to think rationally about their options and make better, informed choices, which will help them to end the abuse in their lives. -- Provide personal advocacy. This will benefit victims who need extra support in removing the obstacles that are holding them back from leaving their abusive partners, including helping them to communicate with other agencies who serve victims,helping them to find resources for financial aid, transporting them to job interviews, etc. --When legal advocates from other community agencies are not available, provide legal advocacy such as criminal justice support and assistance in obtaining orders of protection. This will help victims to navigate through a complex and impersonal legal system to obtain more support in ending the abuse in their lives. --Attending events such as the National Night Out or Take the Night back to hand out information about the Domestic Violence Program and further our reach to victims. Since at least one out of 4 people are victims of domestic violence, per nationwide statistics,distributing information about our Domestic Violence program at these events is bound to reach more than a few victims who need help but who did not know help was available. --Provide information on the Domestic Violence Program to police officers as needed to ensure police are aware of the Domestic Violence program and how we can work together to help victims. This will benefit victims in that police will be more sensitive to their needs and more proactive at referring them to our program to receive help. --As requested by schools or any other organization in the community, provide information about our Domestic Violence Program to reach more silent victims. This will benefit victims in that they will know they have support and understanding in the community. The Victim Assistance Coordinator will supervise the Domestic Violence Case Manager, and assist the Domestic Violence Case Managers in the activites listed above as needed, which will benefit the victims as stated above. 2. Explain how the issues or barriers to the implementation of the program that you listed above in Section V, question 2, will be addressed during the new program period? Revised 4/12 14 To address the barriers indicated in Section V question 2 the case manager will make a request to the ITS Services Department to install the Mobile Client software on her computer to gain access to the dispatch information in the hope that contact information can be found even when there is no police report for domestic calls. This is the same software that dispatch and patrol officers use to communicate with each other. if the case man will be able to follow up with these families on a routine basis to help them to resolve their conflicts, to prevent the conflicts from escalting to violence, and to reduce recidivism. Officers have informed us that they have visited many of these families multiple times. The Victim's Assistance Coordinator will also follow up with the police division commander to evaluate whether the police are in fact using proper discretion in determining whether or not a police report should be written and what policy for this is in place. 3. What training needs have you identified for the staff funded under this program? The DV Case Manager and Victim Assistance Coordinator will continue to attend seminars/workshops for the continuing education hours required to maintain state licensure, and attend seminars/workshops pertaining to serving victims of domestic violence and their famiies The Victim Assistance Coordinator with consult with the Training Officer about training for the patrol officers regarding domestic violence,also to verify when the last department wide training on said subject was conducted. 4. How will you address those training needs? If unable to address those needs, please explain why. The Domestic Violence Case Manager will attend appropriate seminars/workshops and will prepare a training flyer along with the Victim Assistance Coordinator relevant to domestic violence issues.The Victim Assistance Coordinator will consult with the Division Command Staff and the Training Officer to arrange role call trainings on family violence,domestic violence, and the importance of intervention before several incident become equivalent to a major act of violence.The Department policy on domestic violence will also be reviewed. 5. If VOCA funds were not available, has your organization developed a plan for the continuation of this program? Please explain. If VOCA funds were not available, the Domestic Violence Program would cease to exist unless another grant could be found to fund the program or unless the City of Elgin was in a better financial position to fund it. As of today, no other source of funding has been found. Revised 4112 15 VII Implementation Schedule The implementation schedule should be used as a planning tool for the program and should reflect a realistic projection of how the program will proceed. The Implementation Schedule should indicate: the VOCA funded activities and services that will be provided; the month the activity/service begins; the month the activity/service is completed; the personnel responsible for each activity/service; and the frequency with which the activity/service will be provided.
