Domestic Assault Response Team (DART)/4
The Domestic Assault Response Team (DART) program will continue to operate teams consisting of
a family violence detective and a trained crisis intervention volunteer, in the East Field Operations
Division and the North Field Operations Division DART activities include crisis intervention,
information and referral, and facilitating admission to the emergency shelter when indicated Victim
services will be provided through the human services administrator, administrative secretary, the
victim services specialist and DART volunteers During the 1999-2000 grant period, the DART
program trained 30 volunteers, and served 791 primary and 914 secondary victims
Sex Offender Registration/Monitoring Unit/4
The focus of this project is to create an extension of the sex offender registration program by the
monitoring and surveillance of registered sex offenders living within the City of Fort Worth Two
detectives will continue assisting in the registration of sex offenders and conducting investigations
The office assistant will perform data entry, retrieval, production of reports, and other clerical
activities Over 1,000 registered sex offenders were monitored for compliance and 26 were arrested
for =non-compliance during the 1999-2000 grant period Approximately 1,000 surveillance/
investigations of registered sex offenders were conducted
Enhanced Domestic Assault Response Team/4
This program primarily provides for the salaries of the two detectives who are assigned to the
program and ride with a trained crisis intervention volunteer The detectives work closely with the
personnel assigned to the DART program The teams respond to domestic violence calls in the
North Field Operations Division and East Field Operations Division DART activities include crisis
intervention, information and referral, facilitate admission to the emergency shelter when indicated,
conduct comprehensive evidence gathering and investigation, and relieve patrol from the scene in a
timely manner when the law enforcement process is complete A total of 791 responses were made
by DART teams during the 1999-2000 grant period
Computer Crime Fraud Expansion
During the past half decade there has been an explosion of the popularity of the Internet and the use
of personal computers These devices brought speed and convenience for the consumer An
unfortunate side effect to this was that it made many forms of crime faster and more efficient,
particularly various fraud offenses This growth has impacted the Fraud Detail, increasing the
average caseload of fraud detectives to 85 cases per month, precluding them from properly
attacking computer-based offenses Through the addition of a fraud detective, the acquisition of
specialized training in computer crimes at no cost to the grant, and the addition of astate-of=the-art
video system, the fraud detail will lower the average caseload per detective

City matching funds of $125,565 were included in the Federal Awarded Assets adopted budget, and
City matching funds of $123,548 were included in the State Awarded Assets adopted~budget~ Because
these matches were underestimated, additional funds totaling $36,134 are being appropriated from
state and federal Awarded Assets to cover the difference
*Indirect costs were computed using two percent (2%) of the total direct charges requested in CJD
funds. The indirect costs are included in the total amount of the grant program Since the maximum
award for the Domestic Assault Response Team and Enhanced Domestic Assault Response Team is
$80,000 each, it is necessary to waive the indirect costs in the amount of $45,497 ($18,127 and
$27,370, respectively) Since we are approaching the end of the 5-year funding cycle by CJD for the
Sex Offender Registration program, we are asking to waive the indirect costs in the amount of $44,460
so as not to make the program cost prohibitive Additionally, the CJD has mandated that in the event of
any misuse or loss of issued CJD funds, the City will replace these funds in full
The in-kind match of $36,050 represents time donated by the volunteers
