This $950,000 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women (CFDA 16.589 - Rural Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking Assistance Program) supports a comprehensive 36-month initiative in rural Jefferson County, Oregon. The project aims to enhance victim safety, improve the community response, and develop collaborative strategies among law enforcement, victim service providers, prosecutors, courts, and other stakeholders to address domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. Key activities include establishing a multi-disciplinary Domestic Violence Enhanced Response Team, conducting annual law enforcement protocol training, strengthening victim services through dedicated bilingual advocates, enhancing offender accountability through investigations and interpreter services, and improving coordinated responses to sexual assault and strangulation. The project leverages partnerships with the Jefferson County District Attorney's Office, Sheriff's Office, Madras Police Department, and local non-profit Saving Grace to deliver these services to the rural community.
