The funding announcement, located on the eGrants Calendar page, describes the organization types, activities, and costs that are eligible under the announcement. The PSO"s eGrants User Guide to Creating an Application guides applicants through the process of creating and submitting an application in eGrants. Information and guidance related to the management and use of grant funds can be found in the The PSO"s Guide to Grants, located on the PSO Resource for Applicants and Grantees webpage. Program -Specific Questions Culturally Competent Victim Restoration Victim service providers must have the ability to blend cultural knowledge and sensitivity with victim restoration skills for a more effective and culturally appropriate recovery process. Cultural competency occurs when: (1) cultural knowledge, awareness and sensitivity are integrated into action and policy; (2) the service is relevant to the needs of the community and provided by trained staff, board members, and management; and (3) an advocate or organization recognizes each client is different with different needs, feelings, ideas and barriers. Provide information in this section regarding how your organization is culturally competent when providing services to victims. Victim Advocates hired under this grant are trained in cultural competency skills so they gain awareness of and sensitivity to cultural differences within the City"s service population. The Victim Assistance Unit has a training program in which employees performing victim advocacy are trained to recognize that each client is different and has different needs, feelings, ideas, and barriers. Victim services are provided in ways that are relevant and sensitive to the needs of the victim being served. Examples of such practices include services and materials with the language of victim(s) and interpreters when needed. In addition, by policy, the Round Rock Police Department does not discriminate against any religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, special needs or under -served population. https://egrants.gov.texas.gov/projecUGrantPrintableSummary.aspx?PrintCode=O&g h=SD-6E-30-DD-A9-F4-OGF459-FC-06-99-A1-C6-2C-77&PrintP... 2/23 3/15/2021 eGrants - Project Summary (MAKE SURE YOU CLOSE THIS PAGE!!!) Culturally Specific and Underserved Populations Following are relevant definitions needed to answer this question. - Underserved populations means populations who face barriers in accessing and using victim services, and includes populations underserved because of geographic location, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, underserved racial and ethnic populations, populations underserved because of special needs (such as language barriers,, disabilities, alienage status, or age), and any other population determined to be underserved by the Attorney General or by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, as appropriate. - Culturally specific means the program is primarily directed toward racial and ethnic minority groups (as defined in section 1707(g) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 300u-6(g)). - Racial and ethnic minority group means American Indians (including Alaska Natives, Eskimos, and Aleuts); Asian Americans; Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders; Blacks; and Hispanics. - Hispanic means individuals whose origin is Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American, or any other Spanish-speaking country. Does your program have a primary focus on serving a culturally specific population.? (The organization must do more than merely provide services to an underserved population or culturally specific group; rather, the organization's primary focus must be on providing culturally competent services designed to meet the specific needs of the target population in order to justify a YES response in the section below.) Yes X No If you answered 'YES' above, you must explain in the box below how your organization's program is specifically designed to focus on and meet the needs of culturally specific populations. If this item does not apply enter 'N/A'.

Polygraph Testing Prohibition A peace officer or attorney representing the state may not require an adult or child victim of an alleged sex offense to submit to a polygraph examination or other truth telling device as a condition for proceeding with the investigation of such an offense. In addition, the refusal of a victim to submit to a polygraph or other truth telling examination will not prevent the investigation, charging, or prosecution of an alleged sex offense or on the basis of the results of a polygraph examination. Protection Orders Victims applying for a protective order or their attorney may not bear the costs associated with the filing of an order of protections. https://egrants.gov.texas.gov/projecUGrantPrintableSummary.aspx?PrintCode=O&gh=5D-6E-30-DD-A9-F4-OGF4-59-FC-06-99-A1-C6-2C-778PrintP... 3/23 3/15/2021 eGrants - Project Summary (MAKE SURE YOU CLOSE THIS PAGE!!!)

Project Abstract This grant project will continue to fund two, full time Victim Services Advocates. The advocates provide direct services to crime victims and work regionally with other crime victim advocate groups and agencies. Funding for this project will be used to pay for the salary, training, uniforms, specialized victim services software, and supplies necessary for two Victim Advocates. Problem Statement The City of Round Rock is and has been growing rapidly in population and diversity. Since 1999, the population of the City has more than doubled and the number of residents that fall victim to violent crime has increased. These crimes include family violence, sexual assault and abuse, assault, and other types of violent and non-violent crimes resulting in emotional, physical, or personal loss. As a result of these crimes, there is a need in the community for resources and services to help victims through the crisis and assist with the adjustment post - crisis. Supporting Data In 2018, the most recent year available, the Round Rock Police Department had 165 cases categorized by the Uniform Crime Report as 'Violent Crimes', 3 cases of Murder or Manslaughter, 21 Rapes, 51 Robberies, and 90 Aggravated Assaults. The Department currently has a Victim Assistance program that is made up of a Victims Assistance Coordinator, one Victim Service Advocate, and two grant -funded Victim Service Advocates. In 2020, the Victims Assistance program was able to serve 927 victims. Project Approach & Activities: The Round Rock Police Department Victim Assistance Program is committed to protecting the rights of and providing services to the victims and survivors of criminal activity. The primary goal of the program is to alleviate the psychological and emotional trauma resulting from crime. The program provides support to crime victims and victims of other serious incidents, ensuring that victims' and survivors' needs are balanced against the needs and objectives of the criminal investigation. This project will continue to support two, full time Victim Services Advocates who provide direct services to victims. These advocates assist crime victims by providing crisis intervention, tracking and supporting victims throughout the legal process, advising victims of their rights and coordinating applications for compensation. Advocates work with the District and County Attorneys Offices, the Williamson County Children"s Advocacy Center, Hope Alliance, and other local and regional agencies. Capacity & Capabilities: The Round Rock Police Department currently has two full-time employees assigned Victim Services responsibilities. Tracy Lyke is the Victim Services Coordinator for Round Rock Police Department. She has a Bachelor of Arts in Social Work from the University of Northern Iowa. She has more than 20 years of experience working in advocacy and victim services in multiple states and countries. The Department is currently in the hiring process for our second full-time Victim Services employee. Utilizing the Direct Victims Services Grant, the Department was able to hire two additional full-time Victim Advocates in November 2019. Maricela Amaral has a Bachelor of Applied Arts in Social Work and a Master of Applied Arts in Social Work from Texas State University. She has served victims of domestic violence and sexual assault at Hope Alliance. The Department is currently in the hiring process for our second grant -funded Victim Services Advocate. In addition to full-time personnel, the Victim Services Unit works with and supervises a group of volunteer victim advocates. To be eligible to work as a volunteer victim advocate, residents must complete a background process, and attend Victim Services training. Additionally, volunteers must attend in-service training annually, complete a driving course and complete NCIC/TCIC training regarding the proper handling and dissemination of sensitive information. Performance Management As part of the grant program, the Department utilizes an online, all -in -one Victim Services tracking program, VSTracking, to help the program advocates establish and track case work. GOALS: The Victim Service's Unit is committed to protecting the rights of and providing services to the victims and survivors of violent crime. Through crisis intervention, advocacy, education,, information, and referral, the primary goal is to alleviate the psychological and emotional trauma incurred as a result of the crime. Addressing these needs will, in turn, facilitate the victims' and witnesses' willingness and ability to cooperate with the Criminal Justice System in the investigation and prosecution of these crimes. This project would allow the Police Department to continue to expand its services to crime victims as the population grows while addressing the changing needs of the https://egrants.gov.texas.gov/projecUGrantPri ntableSummary.aspx?PrintCode=O&gh=5D-6E-30-DD-A9-F4-OGF4-59-FC-O6-99-A1-C6-2C-77&PrintP... 6/23 3/15/2021 eGrants - Project Summary (MAKE SURE YOU CLOSE THIS PAGE!!!) community. OBJECTIVE: To increase the number of crime victims served by 10 percent by the end of 2022. MEASURES: Victim Services personnel document any response to calls or victim contacts by creating supplements in the Records Management System (RMS) and creating an entry in the VSTracking system. Quarterly and year-end reports of Victim Services activity are computed and analyzed. The information that is documented includes but is not limited to the number of victims seeking service, the number of victims served, the number of referrals, the number of call outs, and the number of hours spent by Victims Services personnel on casework. Target Group The City of Round Rock released new population projections in April of 2019. The population of Round Rock in 2022 is projected to be 133,723, which is up from 116,120 in 2019. Over the next five years, the City anticipates growth of more than 24,000 residents to 140,492 by 2024, (This report is attached in the Documents section.) With a growing population, the Department will continue to provide services to all citizens of Round Rock regardless of the person's race, age, sex, national origin, and disability. According to the United States Census Bureau, estimates for Round Rock as of July 1, 2019, show the population to be: 49.6% White/Non-Hispanic; 30.9% Hispanic or Latino; 10.2% Black; 0.2% American Indian and Alaska Native; 6.7% Asian and 4.5% with two or more races present. Evidence -Based Practices: The "Victim Assistance Program Model" (attached document) states that, 'The goal of the Victim Assistance Program is to improve the treatment of all victims of crime by providing victims with the assistance and services necessary to speed their restoration after a criminal act, and to support and aid them as they move through the criminal justice process.' According to this model, one of the key objectives of a Victim Assistance Program is to "increase the range and availability of services for victims of crime from the time of the criminal act and throughout the aftermath in all forums of justice decision-making. If current population projections hold for the City of Round Rock, the population inside the city limits is expected to reach 143,302 by 2025, The rapid influx of an additional 20,000 residents will create a tremendous strain on the current Victims Assistance Program.
