The grant allocation from the State for FY2017 is in the amount of $315,900 for

services. This grant does not require local matching funds.

ACTION REQUESTED

victims rights programs for the period 10/01/2016 through 09/30/2017.

7. Mission Statement

The Crime Victim Services division of the Genesee County Prosecutor’s Office is committed to assisting crime victims

through the criminal justice system. We will treat victims professionally in a caring manner and strive to meet or exceed

the requirements set forth in the Crime Victim Rights Act, P.A. 87 of 1985.

8. Project Resources

Provide a general description of staff needed to implement Victims Rights in your county. Identify the mostcritical activities that you perform when providing victim rights.

Our county currently has two crime victim advocates and one secretary funded by thisgrant..  The description for each of these is as follows:The Crime Victim Advocate ensures that crime victims who have a case in the criminaljustice system receive the assistance and services guaranteed to them as victims underMichigan’s Constitution and statutes. This is accomplished in a number of ways including,but not limited to, providing victims with information about their rights; keeping them notifiedof the status of their case including all court dates; serving as a liaison between them andthe Prosecutor’s office, especially the assistant prosecutor assigned to a case; and helpingthe victim seek State funding for reimbursement on funeral expenses, medical costs, andcounseling services that are the result of a crime. In addition, the crime victims advocateassists the victim in getting prepared to testify at trial by providing information about thelocation of courtrooms and parking and other such “non-testimonial” advice. They alsoassist victims with providing allocution at sentencing and signing up with DHS or JuvenileProbation to receive future probation information. Victims are also assisted through anyappeals process and given help during a new trial and sentencing.The Crime VictimsAdvocate routinely meets with victims and helps to familiarize them with the criminal justiceprocess. The advocate makes referrals to local service and counseling agencies, providesinformation with regard to victims' compensation, and offers individual support. Together,the 4 advocates cover 10 District Courts, 5 Circuit Courts, 5 Family Courts, 1 Probate Courtand 5 Family Court Referees in two separate buildings.Secretaries (we actually have two secretaries who support crime victim servies butonly one is funded by this grant) update the computer database with current victim information, including

next-of-kin, address, telephone, and type of victim (i.e., assault, CSC, murder, etc.). They generate notification letters for

upcoming events, adjournments, dispositions, and follow-up procedures. They also give general information over the

telephone.

If you utilize the services of volunteers in the provision of Victim Rights, please explain how this is accomplished.

Our county provides an internship opportunity to college students who need to have field

experience. We generally have between 2 - 4 Criminal Justice, Social Work or Political Science

majors assigned to our Crime Victims' Services staff each semester. They assist the Social Workers

with getting the victims to the proper courtroom, explain to the victims/witnesses how the system

generally works, and help to process the huge volume of paperwork associated with victim

M E M O R A N D U M TO: Hon. Bryant Nolden, Chairman, Governmental Operations Cmte.

and Members of the Board

FROM: David S. Leyton, Genesee County Prosecutor

DATE: June 30, 2016 (July 11th Gov Ops Mtg.)

RE: Request to Apply for Renewal of an MSP - Byrne JAG Grants for FY2017

Background The Genesee County Prosecutor’s Office presently has two Byrne Justice Assistance Grants (Byrne JAG) that are administered through the Michigan State Police. Each grant funds two assistant prosecutors and one legal assistant. These grants are part of the State’s “High Crimes Cities Prosecution Efforts” targeting high crime rates and violence in the cities of Flint and Saginaw. Recently, we were informed that grant funding will be cut in half for FY2017 from $400,000 to $200,000. Accordingly, we will be requesting a renewal for just one of these two grants to cover two assistant prosecutors and one legal assistant. The grant we wish to continue is the Major Cases Bureau grant. The Major Cases Bureau prosecution grant works closely with a law enforcement task force comprised of local police, Michigan State Police, and federal agents in an ongoing effort to reduce violent crime rates in the City of Flint. The goal is to provide for the efficient and aggressive investigation and prosecution of violent crimes primarily involving homicide and its attempt, felonious assault, 1st degree CSC, armed robbery, criminal child death cases, and home invasions. The application deadline is July 15th so a roll call vote will be required. ACTION REQUESTED: The Genesee County Prosecutor’s Office respectfully requests a ROLL CALL VOTE to authorize the Prosecutor’s Office to apply for a non-matching Byrne JAG grant in the amount of $200,000 from the Michigan State Police titled “Major Cases Bureau Prosecution - Phase V” for the time period October 1, 2016 – September 30, 2017.
