Advocates, who are on duty 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, provide crisis intervention, counseling and follow-up services both at the-ti-me of an incident as well as afterwards. Officers' time can then be expended on other matters which only they can handle. Outreach and assistance to victims of accidents was initiated this year and is increasing. To date it has been comprised mainly of providing emergency transportation to accident victims who need to retrieve their cars or to go from the hospital. to home or local motel. We have an excellent rapport with the Estes Park Medical Center in this regard. Police personnel also are aware of our services to victims of other crimes and have said that when appropriate they would ask us to respond. NEW PROGRAMS: 1 I am presently working with the counselors at the high school and middle school to develop an on-going program dealing with dating violence/date rape/teen abuse for those age groups. â€¢ We have arranged for pro bono legal assistance for victims of domestic violence. This has been a matter of critical importance in the past and we are grateful that attorney Clark Spalsbury has been so generous with his time in this regard. 1 We have initiated a support group for present and past victims of abuse. This group meets weekly at the library and is being very well received. Its goal is to educate women about domestic violence, to provide support to them, and to help them find other ways of relating to their partners in the future. A H.E.A.R.T. group (Help End Abuse Relationship Tendencies), based on well-known twelve-step self help programs, will begin next week. 1 Groups for batterers still are not meeting in Estes Park, despite diligent efforts in this area. I will continue to communicate with Barry Feldman of Options (based in Ft. Collins) regarding this issue. 1 t TRAINING: In 1991 advocates received training in 1 helping survivors of SIDS 1 sexual assault/rape counse:ling â€¢ suicide intervention , 1 disaster response (in cooperation with EPMC) 1 crisis response team training (state-wide teams proposed) There was also training for new advodates and for two policeÂ· officers. The advocates meet monthly for scheduling and case discussion, and training is on-going at these meetings. COMMUNITY EDUCATION: The Director has spoken several times on KRKI, has provided educational material to the Trail, and has spoken to various community and church groups on the subject of domestic violence. Informational pamphlets produced by our Program have been widely distributed throughout Estes Park and are handed to every victim we make contact with. COVA CONFERENCE: The 1992 Colorado Organization of Victim Assistance will be held in Estes Park at the Conference Center on October 14, 15, and 16. Last year there were 400 attendees from programs like ours, shelters, and law enforcement from all over the state. It is a full-fledged conference with a well-known keynote speaker, five or six different "tracks" within the area of victim assistance, and up to ten individual workshops within each of thode "t rac ks. " Chief Racine and I have been conferring about the possibility of arranging a specific workshop/breakfast sometime during the conference for all the law enforcement attendees. STAFFING: Throughout 1991 the Victim Assistance Program was staffed by the Director and six volunteer Advocates. This number seems to work well. We are also able to call on former advocates to fill in when the regulars are away on vacation, etc. STATISTICS FOR 1991: Advocate hours on duty: 5,840 Advocate calls 121 Total arrests 25 Tourists served 17 (the remainder were local residents) Victim Assistance calls 20 (mostly transportation following an accident) Direct service hours: 250 2 FUNDING: Director's stipend: This was entirely funded by the VALE Board, through the Larimer County Domestic Abuse Intervention Project, which applied for it. DAIP requested $10,000 for 1990-1991, but VALE allowed only $7500. Of this amount,. $500 was withheld at the request of Chief Racine to cover miscellaneous expenses the program might incur. Additional VALE monies in the amount of $571.61 were made available later which made possible one additional month of salary payment, through June 30, 1991. A second VALE grant was requested by DAIP to cover the second half of 1991; this amount was $5,230.68 - again, less than requested. There were no salary funds available from December 15, 1991 to January 22, 1992. The Town administers the VALE grants, deducting from them all FICA, federal and state withholding. The Director's take-home pay for 1991 was $7837.51 covering approximately 25-30 hours per week. VALE is experiencing more requests for money and at the same time, has fewer funds to disburse due to the present economic situation. Judges are ordering more community service and jail time instead of fines and this directly affects our program. DAIP' s request for the Estes Park Director for the first half of 1992 was $4500; $3936 was allocated, a deficit of $1464. We would hope that as Estes Park grows, this community service arm of the Police Department would also grow and that some funding, at least, would be provided by the Town, especially as VALE funding continues to shrink. OTHER EXPENSES: The Police Department pays for office supplies, long distance telephone calls, mileage, training materials, copying, and conferences totaled $1042.24 in 1991 (augmented by the $500 withheld from the VALE grant, mentioned above.) Of this amount, $408.11 went for a one-time conference/training on Crisis Response Training, subsidized by NOVA. Additionally, the Department agreed to pay $4.67 per month to the Director for "call waiting" service on her telephone in lieu of establishing a separate telephone line. DONATIONS: In 1991 the Victim Assistance Program was given two Keynote pagers, valued at $259 each for a total of $518. The donors were the Methodist Men's Club and Annie's Gifts and Gourmet. A check in the amount of $50 was received from a grateful recipient of our program and this was deposited in the Town's General Fund. 3 We continue to receive advocates' name pins gratis from the Estes Park Sign Company as we need them. They are valued at $4.50 each. The First Baptist Church Christmas fund has donated books andÂ· training materials value'd at $100 to the program. The Director provides an office, computer, typewriter, office equipment, telephone, electricity, heat, etc., all valued at approximately $8400. Total donations to the program for 1991: $9525.00 SUMMARY: Director's salary (VALE) - $7837.51 Operating Expenses (EPPD) 1042.24 Donations 9525.00 SUMMARY: Going into its fourth year of operation, the Estes Park Victim Assistance Program is well-established. Liaison with the Police Department appears to be excellent and the program as a whole, as well as individual advocates, are often commended by officers for their efforts. Town residents, as well as tourists, appear to be aware of the program and more and more are utilizing its services. The Estes Park Medical Center personnel are well aware of what we provide, --- both to victims of domestic violence and to accident victims as well. The local media are to be commended for assisting us in getting our message out. Lack of space at the Police Department continues to plague everyone, and in time it would be more professional to have an office-cum-interview room of our own there. In the meantime, the Director maintains her office in her home and Chief Racine permits us to use his office after hours for interview.ing and consoling victims.

The warrants arrived at the police department just before 5:00 p.m. Chief Racine had waited for the warrants so he could assist in their execution. Chief Racine was among the first officers at the residence and he assisted in the residence search. Then the " fun" was over and five persons were taken into custody for interview and further investigation. Officers also brought several bags of loot from the burglary that consisted of hundreds of old coins and currencies. Now the work really was underway! Interviews-needed to be done, bookings, tracking leads, reports and the most tedious of all; logging each individual coin and currency into evidence. Chief Racine was still logging evidence at 2:00 a.m.. This was not a late shift for him, but a very long shift that had started at 8:00 a.m. the day before. On behalf of the men and women of the Estes Park Police Department, we would like to bring this dedication to duty, and the willingness to participate as a team member, to your attention. We would like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to Chief Racine for his assistance that went well above and beyond the scope of his normal responsibilities.
