PROJECT SUMMARY
Violent crime affects everyone in the community, but no one is more deeply and
permanently affected than the victims. The City of Round Rock endeavors to be more responsive
tot he needs of these victims by applying for a Victim of Crime Act grant. This grant would all the
Round Rock Police Department to establish a Victim Assistance Program to provide crisis
intervention, counseling, personal advocacy, and criminal justice support to the victims of violent
crime.
• The Round Rock Police Department's Victim Assistance program would consist of a
civilian employee designated as the victim's assistance coordinator. The coordinator would review
police reports daily to identify victims of serious offenses. The coordinator would be brought into
contact with the victim as earl) in the process as possible. In many instances, this would be at the
crime scene itself with the coordinator having been called out by the responding officer. The
primary client group for the coordinator would be, but is not limited to, abused children, sexual
assault victims, victims of other physical assaults, family violence victims, victims of DWI crimes,
survivors of homicide victims. robbery victims, and other index crime related victims.
• The coordinator would act as the department liaison with the County and District Attorney's
Offices as well as the Texas Attorney General's office. The coordinator would be the department's
referral source during the victim's interaction with police and prosecutors, crisis intervention
services, counseling and hospital services.
Due to a limited staff and ever growing demands for services, the Round Rock Police
Department has only been able to meet with the minimum requirements of the Texas Victims
Compensation Act. The department desires to serve these victims in a more comprehensive
manner through the establishment of a Victim's Assistance Program, staffed by one full time
• employee who will in rum recruit the necessary volunteer support.

CJD 4 NARRATIVE
VICTIM'S ASSISTANCE COORDINATOR
The victim's assistance coordinator will review police reports daily to identify victims of
serious offenses. The coordinator will be brought into contact with the victim as early in the
• process as possible. In many instances, this would be at the crime scene itself with the coordinator
having been called out by the responding officer. The primary client group for the coordinator will
be, but is not limited to. abused children, sexual assault victims, victims of other physical assaults,
family violence victims, victims of DWI crimes, survivors of homicide victims, robbery victims,
and other index crime related victims.
The coordinator will act as the department liaison with the County and District Attorney's
Offices as well as the Texas Attorney General's office. The coordinator wilt be the department's
referral source during the victim's interaction with police and prosecutors, crisis intervention
• services, counseling and hospital services.
•
The City of Round Rock is a fast growing community striving to meet the demands of its
citizens. Conservative growth projections estimate the city's population will grow at an average of
6% a year over the next five years. Analysis of police data shows an 88% correlation between
population growth and increases in index crime. This growth will result in a corresponding
average increase of 5.3% a year in offenses reported to the police. The Round Rock Police
Department can currently only meet the minimum requirements of the Texas Victim's
Compensation Act with its existing staffing levels. Investigative personnel, with ever growing
• case loads, have been frustrated at not being able to better serve those who's health and quality of
life have been impacted by violent crime. To be in a position to meet the needs of its community
most effectively. the department needs to staff a Victim's Assistance Program with a full time
coordinator. This person will recruit the necessary volunteer labor and network with other area
programs to provide crime victims with needed services.
Program Narrative
Narrative is limited to 250 words per section. Text must be 10 or 12 pitch or point type.
1. Problem Statement
• 2. Historical Data
In 1993 the Round Rbck Police Department investigated 4,282 offenses involving 591
victims of crime. These crimes effect the entire community by increasing fear, resulting in a
feeling of uncertainty and apprehension. The 591 victims in 1993 account for only those persons
directly affected by the crime. It does not represent the immediate family members and/or
witnesses who were also affected by the occurrence. A victim's assistance program will make
services available to all who lives have been permanently scarred by violent crime. the following
table summarizes the impact of crime on the City of Round Rock:

ITEM: 9.F. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to submit a grant to

STAFF RESOURCE
PERSON: Wes Wolff
RECOMMENDATION: Approval
Due to a limited staff and ever growing demands for services, the Round Rock
Police Department has only been able to meet with the minimum requirements of
the Texas Victims Compensation Act. The department desires to serve these
victims in a more comprehensive manner through the establishment of a Victim's
Assistance Program, staffed by one full time employee who will in turn recruit the
necessary volunteer support.
Grant funds are available through the Bureau of Justice Assistance, U.S. Justice
Department for the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) Program to provide the
manpower for a designated victims assistance coordinator.
If awarded, this grant will fund the salary for one year for a Victims Assistance
Coordinator. The grant also requires a minimum 35% cash match.
Economic Impact: $10,535.00 will be required as a cash match in the FY '95 Police
Department Budget.
