Failure to comply with any one or more of these award requirements -- whether a

subject of criminal prosecution (including under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and/or 1621, and/or

a federal grant or cooperative agreement, subgrant, 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 (or any Second-Tier Subrecipient) would or might fall within the scope
of these prohibitions, the Subrecipient is to contact Cal OES for guidance, and may
not proceed without the express prior written approval of Cal OES.
15. Compliance with General Appropriations-law Restrictions on the use of Federal
Funds

Cal OES.

No Subrecipients (and any Second-Tier Subrecipients) under this Grant Subaward, or

Grant Subaward, may require any employee or contractor to sign an internal
confidentiality agreement or statement that prohibits or otherwise restricts, or
purports to prohibit or restrict, the reporting (in accordance with law) of waste, fraud,
or abuse to an investigative or law enforcement representative of a federal
department or agency authorized to receive such information.

agreements or statements from employees or contractors that currently
prohibit or otherwise currently restrict (or purport to prohibit or restrict)
employees or contractors from reporting waste, fraud, or abuse as described
above; and
2) Certify that, if they learn, or are notified, that they have, or have been,
requiring their employees or contractors to execute agreements or statements
that prohibit or otherwise restrict (or purport to prohibit or restrict), reporting of
waste, fraud, or abuse as described above, they will immediately stop any
further obligations of Grant Subaward funds, will provide prompt written
notification to Cal OES, and will resume (or permit resumption of) such
obligations only if expressly authorized to do so by Cal OES.
b. If Subrecipients are authorized under this award to make Second-Tier Subawards,
procurement contracts, or both:

a) No other entity (whether through a Second-Tier Subaward ("subgrant"),
procurement contract, or subcontract under a procurement contract) that
they pass funds to either requires or has required internal confidentiality
agreements or statements from employees or contractors that currently
prohibit or otherwise currently restrict (or purport to prohibit or restrict)
employees or contractors from reporting waste, fraud, or abuse as
described above; and

Grant Subaward Budget Narrative
Grant Subaward #: VV22 05 0100
Subrecipient: County of Fresno
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 30% FTE Victim Advocate and 3.87% 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 (Domestic Violence) and/or 1037.1-1037.8 (Sexual Assault) and/or Penal Code section
13835.10 (Victim/Witness) as outlined in the Program Guidelines. The Unit's victim advocate
will work cooperatively with the Marjaree Mason Center, the Fresno County Sheriff's
Department and other interested community agencies to provide services. Those services
include the following activities: 1) crisis 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, 11) case status, 12) notification of

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 have a planned cost of living adjustment for calendar year 2023.

Subrecipient: Fresno County
Since August 1, 2021, twelve new cases have been referred and accepted
for vertical prosecution. Of those cases, two are domestic violence related
homicides. Another case involves stalking. Two cases involve charges of
attempted murder, one of which was accomplished by means of fire with an
accelerant. Four cases involve domestic violence with the use of a weapon. Five
of the twelve cases involve circumstances where great bodily injury was inflicted
upon the victims.
The current caseload of the vertical prosecution unit consists of twenty-
three cases resulting in thirty 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 victims 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 1 192.7, 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 recently had one
case where the offenses occurred in two jurisdictions, and the Fresno County
District Attorney's Office received authorization to prosecute. 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 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 can 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 unit 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 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. Since August 1, 2022, the unit prosecutor
conducted seven such trainings. Three of those trainings were for the local
victim's shelter- Marjaree Mason Center. Three more trainings were done at local
law enforcement agencies including trainings at the Kerman Police Department

and the Huron Police Department. One training was done for prosecutors at the
Fresno County District Attorney's Office.
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 June 8, 2022. 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 updates as to the court procedures
including the use of remote appearances in the courts.
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. The 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.
The current grant funding allows for the unit prosecutor, victim advocate,
and senior investigator to provide individualized attention to victims located in
underserved communities. Having one experienced felony prosecutor with a
reduced caseload, allows for the ability of the prosecutor to take on the more
difficult and complex cases that need more time and attention. In addition to
the unit prosecutor, a bilingual senior investigator is assigned to VV cases and
conducts further investigation when requested by the unit prosecutor. An
assigned victim advocate is also assigned to VV cases and is a crucial part of
providing victims with individualized attention to meet their needs.
Additionally, funding has allowed for the unit prosecutor and victim
advocate to hold mulit-disciplinary meetings and for the unit prosecutor to

provide training to law enforcement and other community organizations on the
investigation and prosecution of domestic violence, domestic violence related
sexual assault, and stalking cases. These trainings are crucial to developing
relationships with community partners as well as providing education for
improving investigations by rural law enforcement agencies.
The Fresno County District Attorney's Office plans to continue the good
work that has been done in the investigation and prosecution of some of the
worst offenders. We also intend to continue supporting and assisting victims
through the oftentimes tedious court process. Additionally, continuing to build
community partnerships through multi-disciplinary meetings and law
enforcement trainings continues to be a priority.
