PROBLEM STATEMENT

The County of Santa Cruz Victim Witness Assistance Program operates out of the Offce

of the District Attorney. In the early years of the program, the focus was on sexual assault

and domestic violence cases through the use of the Victim Emergency Response Team,

otherwise known as VERT. As the community grew and community based organizations

came in to existence, the emergency response team was incorporated into their work and

the Victim Witness Assistance Program broadened its reach to serve all victims of violent

crime. Located on the central coast of California, Santa Cruz County is the second

smallest California county in landmass, encompassing 450 square miles surrounded by

the ocean to the west and the Santa Cruz mountains and agricultural fields to the north,

south and east. The county is made up of four incorporated cities including, Santa Cruz,

Scotts Valley, Capitola and Watsonville. The population is predominately white with a

growing Hispanic community. The area is known as the Gateway to the Monterey Bay

Marine Sanctuary with 29 beaches and six State Beaches. The economy is anchored by

technology, agriculture and tourism.

As in all populated areas, crimes are committed and residents become victims. The Victim

Witness Assistance Program strives to address the needs of crime victims by providing

support and information to assist them as they navigate the criminal justice system.

Advocates work within the program to reach victims as soon as possible after the crime.

The program had 4 fulltime advocates, a clerk and a manager in the early 90's. With no

reliable or steady increases in funding positions the program suffers from lack of growth.

Staff are hampered due to the high volume of crime reports and not enough staff to reach

them alL. We prioritize the cases by a triage method and do our best to serve those we do

reach. We currently have a staff of 1.5 advocates and a manager. Ideally, we would love

to have 4 full time advocates again!

Applicant: County of Santa Cruz Grant Number: VW13320440

We address all violent crimes to the best of our ability and we do provide the mandatory

services pursuant to Penal Code Section 13835. Due to the small number of staff, we do

not make any outreach to property crime victims. We will, however, assist them with

restitution issues and connect them with prosecuting attorney if they contact us.

According to the 2010 census, Santa Cruz County's population was approximately

263,000, with a consistently increasing growth trend over the past ten years. The average

family size was 3.2 in 2010, with married-couple households making up about 45% of

county family household types. In 2010, 60% of residents were white, 32% were Hispanic,

4% were Asian, 2% were multi-racial, 1 % were African-American, and American Indians,

and Pacific Islanders made up less than 1 %. Almost 70% of the population age 5 years

and older spoke only English in the home, and over one fourth of the county population

spoke Spanish at home. The unemployment rate was 11 % and the median family income

was $85,000 in 2011 which was higher than the average for California ($70,400) and the

nation overall ($64,000). Rent continues to increase in the county. Average rent for a on

bedroom was about $1,400 in 2011 compared to about $1,000 in 2003. The adjusted four-

year drop out rate for Santa Cruz County was 18% in 2009/10. 84% of Santa Cruz County

residents had at least a high school degree n 2010, down from 87% in 2002. The Santa

Cruz County crime rate was 39.6 per 1,000 residents, higher than that of the State of

California at 32.2 in 2009. With a growing crime rate and increased homeless population

we have much work to do. The growing gang violence and infiltration of drugs such as

methamphetamine and heroin are impacting all county services, including those of the

Victim Witness Assistance Program. The recently formed multi agency Gang Task Force

is making great progress on unsolved homicides and is a living example of the

importance of interagency communication among the alled agencies.

PLAN

The Santa Cruz County Victim Witness Assistance Program provides direct services to

victims of crime. Advocates provide services at the Santa Cruz County Government

Center located in the City of Santa Cruz next to the Superior Court building. The program

works to provide comprehensive assistance to victims of crime so their trauma is

reduced and they can recover faster from the effects of crime. The program

receives crime reports from all area law enforcement agencies on a daily basis. The

majority of the reports are sent electronically. If needed we send a fax request for any

report that may have fallen through the cracks. Staff and volunteers review the reports to

determine if an eligible crime occurred and for the potential services that may be offered.

Pertinent information is recorded in our case management system. The advocates provide

the 14 mandatory and 10 optional services. They also provide field visits and appropriate

intervention and counseling when needed. We recruit volunteers from the community and

from University of California Santa Cruz. Our volunteers assist us in the delivery of

services. We utilize the Field Study Office at UCSC and the Volunteer Initiative Program

through the County of Santa Cruz for recruitment purposes. All volunteers must pass an

in person interview, criminal background check and FBI fingerprinting. Volunteers are

trained both formally and informally. by staff. Volunteers are required to work a minimum

of 6 months at 10 hours per week. They are also required to record their time using a

monthly log with the hours and date of service. Volunteers assist us with a variety of tasks.

Their duties include but are not limited to: entering data in the case management system,

monitoring court proceedings, reading and screening crime reports and sending letters.

Program staff strive to provide services that are responsive to the special needs of

victims. This means we must constantly be aware of things within the system that are

barriers for victims of crime with special needs. Persons with hearing impairments can be

assisted in court with special listening devices designed for their needs. Advocates can

make arrangement with the court for the use of the devices. We also have access to a

local retired teacher who is trained in American Sign Language. We have access to

telecommunications for the deaf (TOO) and are familiar with both CTAP and CRS. CTAP,

the state mandated program providing free specialized telephone equipment to

qualifying California residents with a disability that makes using the telephone difficult.

Staff make referrals to this program for qualified persons who may need it. CRS,

California Relay Service uses relay communication assistants to enable conversation

between TTY users and non-TT users. Specially trained operators are available 24

hours a day, 365 days a year to relay calls. To provide services to disabled persons,

services are provided in a handicap accessible building. Additionally, field visits are always

an option for any disabled person needing that. For the sight impaired we have Braille

copy of application materials from the California Victim Compensation Program. We also

have a local Center for the Blind that we use as a resource when needed. We have

bi-lingual and bi-cultural staff who regularly assist with translation for monolingual Spanish

speakers. For other languages we rely on our community allies to assist us with

interpretation of other languages This does not happen often but when it does we have

community partners in law enforcement and community based organizations that can

assist. us. For the elderly, we work with various senior citizen centers, Adult Protective

Services and the Senior Network to best serve elder victims of crime. All victims with

special needs receive both mandatory and optional services from the advocates.

The vast majority of the referrals we receive come from law enforcement agencies. We

also receive them from local not for profit agencies, schools, churches and hospitals. As a

relatively small county, we rely on sharing information to best serve our population. We

work closely with detectives, investigators and assistant district attorneys as cases

progress. Staff attends the local SART meetings on a regular basis and within the District

Attorney's Office advocates attend both the misdemeanor and felony team meetings.

Program staff maintain close working relationships with staff from Walnut Avenue

Women's Center, Women's Crisis Support Defense de Mujeres and the Santa Cruz

Police Department Victim Advocate. These two agencies provide victim services to the

three VOCA victim groups of sexual assault, domestic violence and child crime victims.

We make referrals to and receive referrals from our community partners on a regular

basis. We maintain Operational Agreements with them and often collaborate on local

events. We also receive referrals from other community agencies that we work with on a

less regular basis. These agencies include but are not limited to: Santa Cruz County

Rural Assistance League, The Diversity Center, and the Family Law Facilitator, The

Parent Center. Pajaro Valley Prevention, Families in Transition, Court Appointed Special

Advocates and Hospice.

We utilze the Damion case management system for our record keeping and statistics.

This system, used in the District attorney's Office allows for efficient recordkeeping and for

communication between the advocates, and with the Assistant District Attorneys.

The mission of the program is to inform, assist and support victims of violent crime in their

interaction with the criminal justice system and to protect their rights in a manner no less

than the protection afforded criminal defendants. We strive to do this on a limited budget

with limited resources in the belief that all victims deserve to be treated with dignity and

respect. We are honored to work as advocates and to serve our community in helping

victims to make the transition from victim to survivor.
