Private Donation: The Fort Collins Police Services Victim Services Team has been given $5,000 from a private donor to be used exclusively for the R.A.D. (Rape Aggression Defense) Self-Defense program. The Victim Services Team spent a great deal of time researching different types of self defense programs which could be offered to female victims of crime, as well as other community members, once there we had adequate numbers of instructors. In light of the recent serial sexual assault cases, the requests made to Police Services for self defense training were more than it could handle. The donor wishes the monies to be used to train additional certified self-defense instructors (members of the Victim Services Team and/or law DATE: January 15, 2002 2 ITEM NUMBER: enforcement officers), purchase additional equipment needed for the training, and to compensate certified instructors with the Victim Services Team for its time spent teaching these classes. Victims and Law Enforcement (V.A.L.E.) Board Grant: The Fort Collins Police Services Victim Services Team has been awarded a one-year grant in the amount of$19,000 for the period of January 1 to December 11, 2002, by the Eighth Judicial District Victims and Law Enforcement (V.A.L.E.) Board to help fund services provided by this team. These funds will be used to compensate a part-time paid victim advocate who provides crisis intervention services during weekday hours and is housed in the Victim Services office, as well as to pay for some of the operational expenses needed to provide services to victims of crime in our community. Previous V.A.L.E. grant awards received were $19,500 in 1998, and$19,000 for 1999, 2000, and 2001. Corporate Grant: The Fort Collins Police Crime Prevention Unit has been awarded a Community Involvement Grant in the amount of$1,000 from the Target Foundation. Many requests have been received from the community for "Kid I.D. Kits" for the purpose of maintaining a record of children's growth and changes. These booklets contain photos and fingerprints of children and can be updated annually by the parent for 8 years. These booklets are then kept at home with other important family records. These can prove invaluable in the event that the child is missing. The monies will be used to purchase a Biometric Access fingerprint capture with USB attachment to a laptop computer (eliminating messy ink), digital camera, a color printer, and printing costs for the booklet. .
