Project Narrative
PROBLEM STATEMENT
Fresno County is the sixth largest of 58 California counties covering over 6,000 square
miles and offering both rural and urban lifestyles in a variety of landscapes. According to the
California Department of Finance, Fresno is the tenth most populated county with 974,861
residents . 65% of the County's population resides near the center of the county in the densely
populated , adjoining cities of Fresno and Clovis . The balance resides in suburban, rural and
agricultural areas of Fresno County, which include 13 small cities , 42 towns , and many remote
settlements that offer little to no direct services to residents .
Between 2005 and 2015 , Fresno County's population increased by 10.4%, nearly twice
the statewide growth rate of 5.6%. There are many challenges in providing services to a
growing population with limited resources .
Fresno County faces additional challenges due to the cultural diversity that we enjoy.
Fresno County is home to 112 distinct cultural groups with extensive diversity in languages ,
customs and norms. As a result, central valley residents have local access to a wide range of
festive celebrations and foods from far di stant lands.
Unfortunately, Fresno County's abundance of cultural diversity presents barriers to
reporting Domestic Violence , Sexual Assault , Dating Violence and Stalking . In addition, victims
in some of these cultural groups are reluctant to seek help from outsiders. Establishing trust
within these cultural communitie s requires ongoing awareness training for staff, while translation
services and printed materials that provide an effective means of communication require
additional resources .
The volume of Domestic Violence-Related Calls for Assistance has decreased annually
since 2007 , with the exception of 2014 , which tallied more calls than 201 3. Nevertheless,
Fresno County is seventh highest in th e state in reported calls for DV assistance . Both the
Proj ect N arrative -Cal OES 2-108 (Revi se d 7 /2 01 5)
1
Subrecipient: County of Fres no Su baward #: PU 16 04 0100
number and the percentage of calls with firearm or knife/cutting instrument involvement in
Fresno County has decreased slightly over the past three years . However, statistics for 2014
reveal that weapons were involved in 72 .8% of calls in Fresno County--substantially higher than
the statewide rate of 57%.
PLAN
Fresno County's Violent Offender Intensive Supervision Endeavor (VOISE) program
employs a full-time Deputy Probation Officer (DPO}, and a full-time Victim Advocate. Both are
dedicated entirely to the VOISE project. The overarching goal of the VOISE DPO/Advocate
team is to intensely monitor offenders while minimizing further trauma to victims and families by
providing victim protection and referrals to supporti ve services and counseling.
The VOISE DPO has been trained in domestic violence (DV) -related issues and will
provide intensive supervision services for a select group of offenders convicted of violent crimes
against women, including DV, sexual assault, dating vi olence and/or stalking (hereafter referred
to as the DV spectrum). The DPO will develop individualized case plans targeting each
offender's needs . Inte nsive supervision will encourage the offender to follow the plan , and
ensure that appropriate sanctions are employed in the event of non-compliance .
Vi ctims of offenders enrolled in VOI SE will receive supportive services from the DPO
and a full-time Victim/Witness Advocate provided by the Crime Victim Assistance Center
(CVAC). The goal is to have monthly contact with each victim at the beginning of the offender's
probationary period and to offer continuing support as the victim requests . The VOISE DPO and
Advocate will collaborate in engag ing victim s as soon as possible and in meeting their needs .
Intensive Supervi sion Techniques : A specific protocol has been developed for this
program and submitted to Cal OES for approval. This protocol will continue to deve lop as
collaborative efforts result in improved strategies and procedures to ensure victim safety and
offender accountability.

CAPABILITIES
The Fresno County Probation Department has the capacity to provide the proposed
goals , objectives , and activities --and the organizational structure to combine offender
supervision and victim services efficiently , especially in regard to policy change and
implementation. The Department also has a supportive foundation of collaboration and
cooperation between the justice system and private agency providers from which to develop
and implement this program and to suggest new policies and/or procedures .
Arrest and prosecution alone will not break the cycle of DV. System-wide coordination
and collaboration among criminal justice personnel and non-profit, non-governmental programs
is essential to success in breaking the cycle of Domestic Violence . The PSM assigned to VOlSE
solicited input from agency and community stakeholders, including, but not limited to: the
Domestic Violence Court Judge , District Attorney's Office, VAWA prosecution unit, the Marjaree
Mason Center (a non-governmental victim shelter), law enforcement. family court mediators ,
and child welfare advocates . Drawing upon this wide range of experience contributed to a solid
Probation Specialized Unit Protocol for prevention and intervention in high-risk domestic
violence cases and for provision of sensitive and timely services to victims.
This protocol is a living document. As new strategies and procedures arise through our
collaborative efforts with law enforcement and community partners, they will be incorporated
into the VOISE protocol to enhance and ensure victim safety and abuser accountability in
Fresno County .
Operational Agreements (OAs) have been developed with public agencies and priva te
organizations to acknowledge support for and cooperation with the Probation Department's
VOISE Program . These Operational Agreements will be maintained by the VOISE PSM.
CVAC currently has OAs with thirteen local law enforcement agencies and service
providers to support other victim-focused grants. The Fresno County Probation Department has
a long-standing reputation of quality and professiona l operation of grant-funded programs . The
Project Narrative -Cal OES 2-108 (Revised 7/2015)

department is actively involved in numerous multi -agency/multi-disciplinary grant collaborations ,
including the following grant funded programs : Juvenile Accountability Block Grant/Juvenile
Drug Court, through the Board of State and Community Corrections ; the Unserved/Underserved
Victim Outreach and Assistance Program and the Victim Witness Program , throug h Cal OES ,
and the "Repeat DUI " Intensive Supervision program through the Office of Traffic Safety .
Since the Public Safety Realignment Act, the Probation Department has also served w ith
the District Attorney, the Public Defender, Courts, Police Departments of the Cities of Fresno
and Clovis , and the Department of Behavioral Health Services in the Community Corrections
Partnersh ip .
Close communication and exchange between the County's Batterers' Intervention
Programs (BIP) and the Probation Department will allow the VOISE DPO to meet with
probationers at the BIP facil ity and , if appropriate, provide input into intervention objectives.
The VOISE PSM chairs the Child Abuse Review T eam (CART), a multi-agency task
force consisting of representatives from the Department of Adult Parole Operations , Fresno
County Probation , Department of Social Services, Family Court Services, and Fresno Police
Department. The mission of CART is to strengthen collaborative partnerships relating to
children at risk of victimization by a parolee , probatio ne r, post release community supervision
offender, or mandatory supervised release offender. VOISE cases where children were
present during the commission of the DV act, or in which the offender has access to children ,
will be staffed at a bi-monthly mul t i-agency CART re view team meeting for ongoing assessment
of the child's safety.
Staffing and Qualifications : (Full job position specifications are in the Appendix .)
We do not anticipate transferring VOISE staff. It is hoped that VOISE staff w ill be stable for th e

7. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Serving all of Fresno County, the program provides a full -time Victim Advocate who makes every attempt to meet
the needs of victims of hi gh-risk viole nt DV-related offenders enrolled in th e case load to mini mize th e effects of
trauma, to facilita te emotional recovery and, when applicable, to assist the victim obtaining temporary restraining
orders and other services. A full time DPO IV provides intensive supervision of high-risk Domestic Violence, Se xua l
Assault , D ating Violence, and Stalking offender . Supervision will occur at least weekly and most often in person.
The DPO will make unannounced, as well as arranged, field visits and receive offenders in the office. Telephone
contact is allowed, but not encouraged . The VOISE DPO will a lso contact t reatment providers delivery services
under condition s of probation and review booking logs and court files to ensure compliance of o ffenders.
8. PROBLEM STATEMENT
With 974,861 residents , Fresno County has grown at nearly twice t he rate of the state of California. The County's
6,017 square miles make service delivery difficult. The abundance of cultural diversity in Fresno County presents
barriers to reporting Domestic Violen ce, Sexual Assault , D ating Violence and Stalking. Nevertheless, Fresno is
seventh highest county in reported calls for DV assistan ce. The volume of Domestic Violence-Related Calls for
A ssistance has decreased annua lly since 2007, with the exception of 2014, which tallied more ca ll s than 2013. Both
the number and the percentage of calls with firearm o r knife/cutting instrument involvement in Fresno County has
decreased slightly over the past three years. However, statistics for 2014 reveal that weapons were involved in
72.8% of calls in Fresno Cou nty--substantially hig her that the statewide rate of 57%.
9. OBJECTIVES
We utilize the Department's evidence-based risk assessment tool, the Static Risk and Offender Needs Guide
(STRONG) to identify the highest risk DV offenders for e nrollment in VOISE . Intensive probation services will be
provided to 45 individual probationers annually. Targeting a small case load, (maximum of 40) a ll ows the full time
VOISE DPO to have weekly person-to-person contact with each offender and to work with treatment an d service
providers. th e Courts , and the Jail to e nsure compli a nce and/or appropriate sanctions. A full time VOISE Advocate
contacts each victim of a VOISE offender as warly as possible, to identify needs and concerns, to offer services and
information, and t o make appropriate referrals for appropriate outside services. The Advocate and DPO for VOISE
coll aborate in contactin g and serving victims.
Project Summary-Cal OES 2-150 (Revised 7/20 15)
10. ACTIVITIES
