|
|
|
1. DESCRIBE THE IMPACT THAT VOCA FUNDS HAVE HAD ON YOUR PROGRAM'S ABILITY TO MEET THE NEEDS OF CRIME
VICTIMS.
|
We would not be able to meet the needs of crime victims without VOCA compensation funds.
|
|
|
2. HOW DO YOU MEASURE YOUR PROGRAM'S EFFICIENCY AND EFFECTIVENESS IN REDUCING THE FINANCIAL IMPACT
OF CRIME ON VICTIMS? WHAT ARE THE RESULTS?
|
We average 128 days from the date the claim is submitted to the date the decision is finalized by the Board. This is measured by our database system.
|
|
|
3. DID YOUR STATE USE VOCA ADMINSTRATIVE FUNDS?
Yes
IF YOUR STATE USED VOCA ADMINSTRATIVE FUNDS, PLEASE DESCRIBE THE IMPACT THESE FUNDS HAVE HAD ON YOUR
STATE'S ABILITY TO PROVIDE COMPENSATION OR IMPROVE VICTIM SERVICES.
|
We are able to provide training to our reparation officer staff to increase their effectiveness in assisting victims.
