seek civil or criminal remedies, etc.); procedures or policies that fail to ensure
service providers conduct safety planning with victims; project design and

which the approved application was submitted.

develop and implement policies and develop and promote state, local, or
COAOC -STOP-Cal OES 2-104g (Revised 7/2021)
Page 11 of 15
tribal legislation or model codes designed to reduce or eliminate domestic
violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking (as those terms are
defined in 34 U.S.C. § 12291 (a)) when such collaboration and provision of
information is consistent with the activities otherwise authorized under this
grant program.
Another federal law generally prohibits federal funds awarded by OVW from
being used by the Subrecipient to pay any person to influence (or attempt to
influence) a federal agency, a Member of Congress, or Congress (or an
official or employee of any of them) with respect to the awarding of a
federal grant or cooperative agreement, Second-Tier Subaward, contract,
subcontract, or loan, or with respect to actions such as renewing, extending,
or modifying any such award. See 31 U.S.C. § 1352. Certain exceptions to this
law apply, including an exception that applies to Indian tribes and tribal
organizations.
Should any question arise as to whether a particular use of federal funds by a
Subrecipient would or might fall within the scope of these prohibitions, the
Subrecipient is to contact OVW for guidance, and may not proceed without
the express prior written approval of OVW.
24. Compliance with 41 U.S.C. 4712 (including prohibitions on reprisal; notice to
employees)
The Subrecipient must comply with, and is subject to, all applicable provisions
of 41 U.S.C. 4712, including all applicable provisions that prohibit, under

a federal grant, a gross waste of federal funds, an abuse of authority relating
to a federal grant, a substantial and specific danger to public health or
safety, or a violation of law, rule, or regulation related to a federal grant.
The Subrecipient also must inform its employees, in writing (and in the
predominant native language of the workforce), of employee rights and
remedies under 41 U.S.C. 4712.
Should a question arise as to the applicability of the provisions of 41 U.S.C.
4712 to this award, the Subrecipient is to contact the DOJ awarding agency
(OJP or OVW, as appropriate) for guidance.
25. VAWA 2013 nondiscrimination condition
The Subrecipient acknowledges that 34 U.S.C. § 12291 (b)(13) prohibits
recipients of OVW awards from excluding, denying benefits to, or

Subrecipients may provide sex-segregated or sex-specific programming if
doing so is necessary to the essential operations of the program, so long as
the Subrecipient provides comparable services to those who cannot be
provided with the sex-segregated or sex-specific programming. The
Subrecipient agrees that it will comply with this provision.
26. Non-supplantation
The Subrecipient agrees that Grant Subaward funds will be used to
supplement, not supplant, non-federal funds that would otherwise be
available for the activities under this grant.
27. Confidentiality and information sharing
The Subrecipient agrees to comply with the provisions of 34 U.S.C. §

Grant Subaward #: VV21 04 0100
Subrecipient: Fresno County District Attorney's Office
The proposed Violence Against Women Vertical Prosecution Project
budget supports one level IV Deputy District Attorney, one Victim Advocate and
one Senior DA Investigator position. All items included in the budget are
devoted 100% to "project" activity.
This budget directs 100% of the $270,060 total cost to salaries and benefits
in direct support of the project. Salaries and benefits make up 100% of the
budget and fund the project prosecutor who is an experienced Deputy District
Attorney IV with felony trial and DV experience, the 50% FTE Victim Advocate
and 5.7432% FTE Senior DA Investigator. Operating expenses will be funded by
Fresno County.
The level IV Deputy District Attorney position will ensure that the project
prosecutor will be highly experienced in the handling of felony trial matters. The
Senior DA Investigator will assist the prosecutor with case related investigation
and be highly experienced in the handling of felony trial matters. The Victim
Advocate position will have experience in dealing with victims and will possess
education/training as specified in Evidence Code Sections 1035.5-1036 (Sexual
Assault) and/or 1037.1-1037.8 (Domestic Violence) and/or Penal Code section

intervention, 2) emergency assistance, 3) resource and referral assistance, 4)
direct counseling, 5) assist with victim of crime claims, 6) property return, 7)
orientation to the criminal justice system, 8) court escort, 9) presentations and
trainings for criminal justice agencies, 10) public presentations, 1 1 ) case status,
12) notification of family/friends, 13) employer notification/intervention and 14)
restitution.
The above-mentioned prosecutor-victim advocate partnership as
supported in the budget is well positioned to effectively achieve the stated
goals of the project.
This project will not require subcontractors or have any unusual
expenditures.
Program staff does not have a planned cost of living adjustment for
calendar year 2022.

Subrecipient: Fresno County District Attorney's Office
Since January 1, 2021 , twelve new cases have been referred to and
accepted for vertical prosecution. Of those cases, one involves a charge of
attempted murder with a knife. Two cases involve torture, one of which also
includes aggravated mayhem. Additionally, two cases involve the use of a knife
and two more cases include great bodily injury inflicted upon the victim.
The current caseload of the vertical prosecution unit consists of twenty-five
cases resulting in 38 victims of intimate partner violence (sexual assault, domestic
battery, stalking, child abuse, witness intimidation and other offenses.) The unit
victim advocate, Keely McPherson, and unit prosecutor, Heather Spurling,
routinely contact these victims and their guardians (when victim's are minors.) We
have established a process whereby the unit prosecutor reviews all cases referred
for felony domestic violence filing by rural agencies served by this grant. Those
agencies include all police departments in Fresno County except for the Fresno
Police Department. The unit prosecutor identifies and keeps those cases on the
vertical prosecution unit, that meet the unit criteria. The criteria includes, but is not
limited to, cases involving either a "serious" or "violent" felony defined in Penal
Code sections 667.5(c) and 1192.7, and felonies involving stalking or sexual assault
between intimate partners. The unit prosecutor files the non-retained cases for the

"general" domestic violence team within the Fresno County District Attorney's
Office. That unit is currently comprised of eight prosecutors.
Pursuant to the California Penal Code section 784.7, when two or more
domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking offenses occur in more than one
physical jurisdiction, either of those jurisdictions can maintain prosecution for all
offenses. However, all district attorney offices of the jurisdictions where the
offenses occurred must agree to cede jurisdiction over those offenses, to the
office which will ultimately maintain the prosecution. Within the "active"
caseloads on the vertical prosecution unit, the unit prosecutor currently has one
case where the offenses occurred in two jurisdictions, and the Fresno County
District Attorney's Office received authorization to prosecute. Additionally, there is
one additional case that the unit prosecutor is currently making attempts to have
another county cede jurisdiction to the Fresno County District Attorney's Office.
Obtaining and retaining such cases is the preferred outcome for the unit
prosecutor to direct the prosecution process since the unit prosecutor is not
"deputized" to prosecute cases in any other county. Since 2019, the unit
prosecutor has not ceded jurisdiction over a case of domestic violence, sexual
assault, or stalking that had been referred to the unit prosecutor for filing
consideration.

Once the unit prosecutor determines that a case qualifies for retention, a
physical file is created, and the case file passes on to the victim advocate. The
Victim advocate establishes her own physical file within which she documents her
contact with victims and retains information pertinent to each victim. Upon
receipt of the physical file, the victim advocate makes immediate efforts to
contact the victim(s), to ascertain each victim's needs and vulnerabilities, and
answer most immediately pressing questions (bail, possible release out of custody,
Fresno County Jail victim notification system, etc.) The Victim advocate aims to
maintain weekly contact with each victim, equip them with tools to assure their
safety, and encourage them to participate in the criminal justice system. The
Victim advocate is equipped with a department-issued cell phone and has
access to a department-provided vehicle. The Victim advocate is accessible to
victims via phone and text, and is able to make house calls.
In addition to the physical file, the Fresno District Attorney's Office has a
computer-based system called, "ePro". This is a digital web-based system for case
management and is currently being utilized by the unit prosecutor, the victim
advocate, and the senior investigator Patty Varela. EPro is used to store items of
evidence, and to document history of victim contact and pertinent information
for each victim. This system avails itself to remote access, and enables the unit

prosecutor, victim advocate, and the senior investigator to rapidly share
information when necessary.
In addition to those cases the unit prosecutor identified as meeting the
criteria for retention at the time of filing, the unit prosecutor may choose to
absorb a case that was initially declined for retention and prosecute that case
via either the major stage vertical prosecution or the unit vertical prosecution
models. This may occur in several instances. If during the pendency of the non-
retained case, the defendant reoffends against the same or another victim, and
the unit prosecutor then retains the latter case, the unit prosecutor will absorb the
initially non-retained case for a "consolidated" prosecution. It may also occur
when the unit prosecutor fails to initially identify, or the victim later reveals some
peculiar vulnerabilities, which require a greater than average assistance from the
victim advocate.
The Unit prosecutor maintains frequent contact with detectives and police
officers of the various police agencies and provides domestic violence trainings
to local law enforcement agencies. So far in 2021, unit prosecutor conducted
three such trainings at the local victim's shelter- Marjaree Mason Center. In the
previous year, unit prosecutor conducted two such trainings at the Fresno Sheriff's

Department, two at the Clovis Police Department, and four at the Marjaree
Mason Center.
In addition to training presentations, the unit prosecutor and the victim
advocate conduct quarterly multi-disciplinary meetings with members of the rural
police departments, and other "allies," such as members of the Rape Counselling
Center, Marjaree Mason Center, Fresno County Probation Office of the Victim
Advocate, Centro La Familia (immigration and family advocacy center), etc.
The most recent such meeting took place on April 28, 2021 . Agendas for the
multi-disciplinary meetings can be varied but typically include questions and
concerns associated with furthering victim participation in the criminal justice
system.
As part of each training presentation and multi-disciplinary meeting, the
unit prosecutor aims to provide to the group current legal updates that may
impact the work of the police departments or the "allies." The unit prosecutor
also provides updates on upcoming trials, individual victim concerns, changes in
court procedures, and legislative updates. The most recent multi-disciplinary
meeting concerned topics including the changes that have occurred with
respect to cash bail and an update on the Fresno Superior Court procedures as it
relates to the COVID 19 limited access.

As part of each presentation and multi-disciplinary meeting, the unit
prosecutor offers contact information and informs the group of availability to
attend future events put on by an individual group member, and to discuss topics
of specific interest to that group member. Through participation in the
presentations and the multi-disciplinary meetings, the unit prosecutor has been
able to establish relationships with individual group members that are beneficial
to the success of the prosecution efforts. Unit prosecutor regularly receives phone
calls from individual police officers seeking assistance in the on-going
investigations, and the "allies" often offer assistance to the victim advocate and
the senior investigator in locating and establishing contact with victims.
