DISCUSSION: Each year, the Criminal Justice Division (CJD) of the Governor's Office funds projects throughout the State of Texas under the Victims of Crime Act Formula Grant Program. The Fort Worth Police Department submitted an application for the Fort Worth Police Department's Victim Assistance Section in the amount of$169,707.00 for an additional Victim Assistance Specialist Position and a High Risk Family Violence Specialist Position. The overall goal of this project is to reduce the trauma experienced by crime victims by providing efficient and comprehensive advocacy and services for all victims of violent crime, as well as increase outreach and education to victims of family violence exhibiting high risk factors; thus, reducing the likelihood of repeat victimization and/or intimate partner homicide. The CJD allows up to two percent of the total award amount to be applied towards indirect costs if the agency does not have a current, approved indirect cost rate. At the time of submittal, there was not a current approved rate and CJD does not allow increasing that rate after submittal; therefore, funds of $3,390.00 will be used for indirect costs. http://apps.cfwnet.org/council_packet/me—review.asp?ID=22471&councildate=9/13/2016 11/8/2016 M&C Review Page 2 of 2 The CJD requires that the City adopt a resolution to provide assurances that funds will be returned to the CJD in full, in the event of loss or misuse of CJD grant funds.
