Palm beach county's coordinated community response to domestic violence

The County of Palm Beach, Florida will receive $1,000,000 from the Department of Justice Offices Boards and Divisions Office on Violence Against Women through September 2024 to support Palm Beach County's Coordinated Community Response to Domestic Violence. This Project Grant funding will support the county's efforts to improve the criminal justice response to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking through the Grants to Encourage Arrest Policies and Enforcement of Protection Orders Program (CFDA #16.590). Specifically, the county aims to assist state, local and tribal governments in their efforts to develop and strengthen effective law enforcement and prosecution strategies to combat violent crimes against women and implement mandatory arrest or pro-arrest policies as well as policies and training for enforcement of protection orders. This funding will help Palm Beach County continue delivering victim-centered services to combat domestic violence.
