DISCUSSION:
Each year the Criminal Justice Division of the Governor's Office funds grant projects throughout the state.
The Fort Worth Police Department for the past 6 years has received federal pass-through funds from the
Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) to operate the DART project. Due to technical problems in reviewing
this year's application, DART was not funded through VAWA but will be funded through the Texas Criminal
Justice Planning Fund.
DART was originally funded with Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) funds and provides on-
scene crisis intervention to victims of family violence through an active volunteer program. This is a
companion program to the Enhanced DART project which was accepted by the City Council via M&C G-
14478, on August 31, 2004.
