The City of Greensboro received a $500,000 Project Grant award from the Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women under the Demonstration Program on Trauma-Informed, Victim-Centered Training for Law Enforcement (CFDA 16.058), also known as the Abby Honold Program. This 3-year grant, with a performance period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027, will support the city's efforts to train law enforcement officers on evidence-based, trauma-informed, and victim-centered investigation techniques for cases involving domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. The grant will enable the City of Greensboro to partner with Family Services of the Piedmont to deliver this specialized training, with the goal of preventing re-traumatization of victims, improving communication between law enforcement and victims, and evaluating the effectiveness of the training program. The Abby Honold Program aims to enhance the overall response of law enforcement to these crime types within the Greensboro community.
