The enhancing investigations and prosecution of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking (EIP) encourages law enforcement agencies and/or prosecutors offices to expand and improve their capacity to effectively investigate and/or prosecute domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, and in so doing, support victim safety and autonomy, hold offenders accountable, and promote agency trust within the surrounding community. The EIP project by the salt lake county district attorneys office, in partnership with ywca utah, the rape recovery center, salt lake city police department, south jordan police department, west jordan police department, riverton city police department, and draper city police department, to implement in salt lake county, UT addresses EIP purpose areas: 2 and 6. Additionally, this project addresses OVW priority area 1: access to justice; priority area 2: services to sexual assault survivors. Specific activities include, but are not limited to, hiring an investigator liaison to implement survivor-centered investigative best practices within the five partner law enforcement partner agencies.
