October 2, 2000
Public Hearing on the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant
The Renton City Council approved the application for the 2000 Local Law Enforcement
Block Grant (LLEBG) on 9/26/00. The City has been pre-approved for a grant of
$58,548, with the local match of 10% it totals $65,053. A requirement of the grant is that
a public hearing be held.
Since 1996 we have used the LLEBG funds to fund the Victim Court Advocate.
The Department of Justice has just completed a paperless application process for these
grants, making it easier to apply and more efficient. Developing this process has taken
time and is the reason that the Council just recently approved the use of 1999 LLEBG
funds for the same purpose. The 1999 and 2000 grants combined will cover the cost of
salary/benefits of the Victim Court Advocate from approximately 10/1/00— 12/31/02.
The future of LLEBG is uncertain; every year Congress and the President decide if it is
going to be continued and at what level of funding.
The domestic violence Victim Court Advocate assists the prosecutor in domestic violence
misdemeanor cases. The goal is to successfully prosecute batterers and hold them
accountable to prevent future domestic violence from occurring. The cases are heard in
Renton Municipal Court.
The Renton Victim Court Advocate can be reached at 425-430-6654.
City of Renton Human Services Division administers the Local Law Enforcement Block
Grant.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Applications for 2000 Local Law Enforcement Block Grants are due September 24, 2000. The
Department of Justice administers LLEBG grants. Renton has been preapproved for the grant amount
of$58,548; the grant is based on the number of violent crimes the City has had in the past three years.
These funds are available to cities, counties and states and can be used for seven different purposes.
Since 1996 we have used the funds in the area of crime prevention - to fund legal advocacy services
for victims of domestic violence.
The grants require a local match of 10%. Cities have 2 years to expend the funds after receiving the
award. Before we can spend the funds, we must convene an advisory committee to review the
application and make non-binding recommendations on the use of funds. A public hearing must also
be held.
The Department of Justice has just completed a paperless application process for these grants, making
it easier to apply and more efficient. Developing this process has taken time and is the reason that the
Council just recently approved the use of 1999 LLEBG funds for the same purpose. The 1999 and
2000 grants combined will cover the cost of salary/benefits of the Victim Court Advocate from
approximately 10/1/00 - 12/31/02. The future of the LLEBG is uncertain; every year Congress and
the President decide if it is going to be continued and at what level of funding.
Staff Recommendation:
The attached resolution authorize staff to apply for the 2000 Local Law Enforcement Block Grant.
Set public hearing for October 2, 2000.

Summary of Action:
Grant applications to the Bureau of Justice (BJA) are due in August, 1999, for funds made available
through the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant Program. These funds are available to cities,
counties and states and can be used for 7 different purposes. One purpose is establishing crime
prevention programs that may, though not exclusively involve law enforcement officials and that are
intended to discourage, disrupt, or interfere with the Commission of Criminal Activity, including
sexual assault and domestic violence programs.
The grants require a local match of 10% which must be cash. Cities have 2 years to expend the funds
after receiving the award. Prior to obligating the funds, Renton must convene an advisory board to
review the application and make non-binding recommendations on the use of funds. A public hearing
must also be held.
In Renton, the funds will be used for legal advocacy services for victims of domestic violence. A
victim court advocate was hired with 1996 Local Law Enforcement Block Grant funds, and this will
continue those services. This use of grant funds is supported by the Police Department, Court,
Community Services Department, and City Attorney's office.
Staff Recommendation:
The attached resolution authorizes the staff to apply for the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant.

PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
Human Services: 1998 LLEBG accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing
Funds(Domestic Violence to consider the proposed two-year spending plan for the 1998 Local Law
Advocate) Enforcement Block Grant(LLEBG) funds.
Karen Marshall,Human Services Manager, said Renton has used this grant in
the past for a domestic violence Victim Court Advocate, who works with
victims,police and the prosecutor in domestic violence misdemeanor cases.
Ms. Marshall explained the significance of the domestic violence problem in the
community,noting that over the last five years, over half of the homicide cases
in Renton were related to domestic violence. In 1998,nearly 2,000 domestic
violence 911 calls were made—an average of more than four calls per day.
Chief of Police Garry Anderson added that such calls are of particular concern
because children are present almost 70%of the time these incidents occur
(1,340 calls last year alone). He said the Police Department will soon provide
over 200 hours of in-service training on domestic violence to all department
staff with the goal of enhancing their effectiveness in dealing with these
situations. A key strategy is to improve investigation of domestic violence
cases so that whether or not the victim is willing to testify, the City's
prosecution will be successful.
Municipal Court Judge Terry Lee Jurado said few, if any, of homicides related
to domestic violence involve first-time offenders. Rather, most happen after a
history of domestic violence incidents and numerous opportunities by law
June 7, 1999 `r✓ Renton City Council Minutes Page 202
enforcement to intervene. Judge Jurado reported that Renton now requires
anyone arrested on a domestic violence charge to appear before the court prior
to being allowed to post bail. Doing so gives time for the police report to be
completed so when the offender does appear before the court, the presiding
judge can better determine whether a no-contact order is appropriate before the
offender is released. He noted that no studies have been done to determine
whether counseling helps offenders reduce or stop their violent actions.
Ms. Marshall added that the Victim Court Advocate's duties include the
following: assist the prosecutor in domestic violence cases; contact each victim
and remain in contact for the duration of the case; accompany victims to court;
take photographs of victims; order and review 911 tapes; work with victims to
ensure they have a safety plan;refer victims to appropriate service
organizations; and work with the Police Department on individual cases and to
develop and implement the depai tinent's domestic violence training sessions.
Assistant City Attorney Stephanie Dikeakos explained that her job primarily
consists of prosecuting domestic violence cases. She emphasized that the work
of the Victim Court Advocate is crucial to her office, and she relies on this
person in many ways.
Tracey Thomas, Victim Court Advocate,reiterated that she works exclusively
on domestic violence issues. She noted that in some cases she is able to secure
information from victims which they may not be willing to share with police;
for example, correspondence they have received from the offender while the
defendant is incarcerated.
Responding to Council President Parker,Judge Jurado said most domestic
violence cases involve misdemeanors such as simple assault,harassment or
malacious mischief. He noted that anything involving"serious bodily injury"
constitutes a felony,but this term is not well-defined and therefore, subject to
interpretation. Felony cases are forwarded to the King County Superior Court.
In response to Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler, Chief Anderson confirmed
that State law requires an arrest be made within four hours(if possible) after the
responding officers determine that a crime has been committed.
Audience comment was invited.
Victoria Gilliam, 201 Union Ave.,Renton, 98056, said as a victim of domestic
violence she can attest to the need for police officers to have specific training in
how to sensitively respond to these situations. Saying that an intern was used to
prosecute her case, she cautioned that those with less experience must be
carefully supervised to ensure that all victims receive the same degree of
service and protection under the law. Expressing disappointment that the
Victim Court Advocate was unavailable to attend her trial,Ms. Gilliam
concluded that offenders should not receive treatment in lieu of punishment by
imprisonment.
There being no further audience comment, it was MOVED BY PARKER,
SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

Public Hearing on the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant
June 7, 1999
The Renton City Council approved the application for the 1998 Local Law Enforcement
Block Grant (LLEBG) on 7/27/98. The City has been pre-approved for a grant of
$61,219, with the local match it totals $68,021. A requirement of the grant is that a public
hearing be held.
This grant funds the domestic violence Victim Court Advocate. The Advocate is currently
funded by the 1997 LLEBG grant and it is recommended the position be continued to be
funded with the 1998 grant.
Recipients of the grants have two years to spend each LLEBG grant. The '97 grant is
almost spent and the '98 grant will be used from 6/99 to 12/2000. The 1999 grant will be
significantly less, and the future of the grant beyond that is unknown.
The domestic violence Victim Court Advocate assists the prosecutor in domestic violence
misdemeanor cases. The goal is to successfully prosecute batterers and hold them
accountable to prevent further domestic violence from occurring. The cases are heard in
Renton Municipal Court. The Advocate contacts each victim and stays in contact for the
duration of the case. If the victim has questions, or wants the Advocate to accompany
him or her to court, the advocate will. Upon request by police officers, the Advocate can
take photographs 48 hours or 72 hours later. The Advocate orders and reviews 911 tapes
and also works with victims to make sure they have a safety plan. If community resources
are needed, the Victim Advocate refers the victim to Domestic Abuse Women's Network
Community Advocate. The Victim Court Advocate works closely with the Police
Department; helps officers with individual cases, as well as assisting in domestic violence
training. The Renton domestic violence Victim Court Advocate can be reached at 425-
430-6654.
The Local Law Enforcement Block Grant is administered by City of Renton Human
Services Division.

Summary of Action:
The City Council approved the application for the 1998 Local Law Enforcement Block Grant on
7/27/98. The City has been pre-approved for a grant of$61,219, with the local match it totals
$68,021. A requirement of the grant is that a public hearing be held. As part of the public hearing,
staff will do a short presentation on the successes of the Victim Court Advocate and the Renton
Domestic Violence Task Force. The advocate position is currently funded by the '97 LLEBG
grant and it is recommended that the position be continued to be funded with the '98 grant.
We have two years to spend each LLEBG grant. The '97 grant is almost spent and we will use the
'98 grant from 6/99 to 12/2000. We will also see a significant reduction in the amount of the 1999
grant, as Counties are now eligible to receive funding. Prior to 1999 only cities could receive
LLEBG. The future of LLEBG beyond 1999 is uncertain. President Clinton has proposed
eliminating it.
RECOMMENDATION:
Set date for Public Hearing for the 1998 Local Law Enforcement Block Grant for June 7, 1999.

PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published
HS: 1997 Local Law in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Tanner opened the public
Enforcement Block Grant hearing to consider the proposal to use the 1997 Local Law Enforcement
'Usage (Domestic Violence Block Grant (LLEBG) for the domestic violence victims' advocate position.
Victims' Advocate)
Karen Marshall, Human Services Manager, explained that Renton has been
pre-approved for a 1997 LLEBG grant of $61,656. The required local match
is $6,844. Staff and the Human Services Advisory Committee recommend that
the funds be used for legal advocacy services for victims of domestic violence.
A victims' court advocate was hired with 1996 LLEBG funds, and the
proposal is to continue and expand these services.
Deputy Chief Garry Anderson explained that it is difficult for law
enforcement officers to break the cycle of domestic violence because the
nature of their job requires them to focus their attentions on abusers rather
than on the victims of abuse. He endorsed having a victims' advocate to
better support domestic violence victims.
Se'tember 8. 1997 Renton City Council Minutes Page 283
Celia Forrest, Program Director of Emergency and Transitional Housing,
South King County YMCA, said that having worked in the domestic violence
arena for 20 years, she believed that coordinated community responses to this
problem were perhaps the only means of making a difference. She felt that
having an advocate help domestic violence victims through the court process
was extremely valuable.
City Prosecutor Jim Farrell recounted many instances in which the victims'
advocate has played a key role in obtaining domestic violence convictions.
Expressing great appreciation for her assistance with such tasks as ensuring
that victims are served with subpeonas so cases can proceed to trial, Mr.
Farrell emphasized that the current advocate has done a fantastic job.
Tracey Thomas, Victims' Court Advocate, explained the various services she
provides to domestic violence victims and how she aids the City's police and
prosecution efforts in domestic violence cases.
Audience comment was invited. Correspondence was read from Barbara
Green, Interim Executive Director of DAWN (Domestic Abuse Women's
Network), PO Box 1521, Kent, WA, 98035, and from Renton Municipal Court
Judge Corinna D. Harn, both supporting the proposed increase of the victims'
advocate position to full time.
There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY PARKER,
SECONDED BY EDWARDS, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
CARRIED.
Councilman Parker commented that Ms. Thomas' position is not funded to any
extent by Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds.
Vacation: SW Harris Place This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published
(Rutherford et al/VAC- in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Tanner opened the public
97-002) hearing to consider the request to vacate a portion of SW Harris Place between
Rainier Ave. S. and SW Sunset Boulevard (Rutherford et al., VAC-97-002).
Tom Boyns, Property Services Supervisor, explained that the petition has been
submitted on behalf of a development project, Walgreen's Drugstore. The
proposed vacation extends the entire length and width of the remaining right-
of-way adjacent to the petitoners' properties. All utilities are present in the
right-of-way, and would need to be relocated at the expense of the developer.
Mr. Boyns noted that in such cases, the City would normally retain an
easement over the existing utilities until they are relocated, at which time the
easement is exchanged for another over the relocated utilities.
Mr. Boyns added that an adjacent property owner, Jim Cooks, has expressed
concern about safety and access to his parcel, which is leased to a car
dealership. Currently, transport trucks deliver vehicles to the dealership and
then exit the area via Rainier Ave. S. Walgreen's has offered Mr. Cooks an
easement allowing trucks to exit to Sunset Blvd., but not to Rainier Avenue.
The City's Transportation Division, however, does not favor Walgreen's
proposal because of heavy traffic in this area and the close proximity of SW
Harris Place to Sunset Boulevard.
Mr. Boyns suggested that the concern regarding access could be mitigated by
imposing a condition that the vacation not be approved until documentation is
received that the parties have reached a mutually acceptable agreement on this
issue, and that all necessary easements have been granted.

King County RECEIVED
CITY CLERK'S OFFICE
Referral/Shelter Dear Councilmembers:
Advocacy
Counseling I am writing to thank you for the commitment to domestic violence you
P.O. Box 1521 have shown and to urge you to consider doing even more. Hiring a Court
Kent, WA 98035 Advocate is an important step in the fight against domestic violence. I wholly
Office:656-4305 support increasing the City of Renton's Court Advocate's hours to full time. A
Advocacy Court Advocate provides the invaluable service of holding batterers accountable by
656-8423 increasing the likelihood of prosecution. However, it is important to note that
because the Court Advocate is primarily focused on prosecution, she does not
65 Hour x(
656-STOP 77 86 7)have the time, nor is it her job, to help the victims directly. That is what a
Community Advocate does.
A Community Advocate provides emotional support and social service
resources to victims of domestic violence and their children. She helps victims
develop a safety plan to decrease the lethality of their situation. The Community
Advocate informs victims of resources available to help them and their children.
She refers victims to services such as confidential shelter, support groups, housing,
clothing, employment, and other social services.
Many victims are afraid to assist the prosecution for fear of retaliation.
When the Court Advocate and the Community Advocate work together, victims
will get the support they need, and they will be more likely to assist with
prosecution.
DAWN submitted a proposal to fund a Community Advocate position.
That request was not recommended for funding. I urge you to join other South
King County cities such as Auburn, Des Moines, Federal Way, Kent, SeaTac and
Tukwila to fund a Community Advocate for your city. Creating a
Court/Community Advocate partnership will further demonstrate your
commitment to ending domestic violence in the City of Renton.

Statement by Corinna D. Harn- 9/8/97 Council meeting
Mayor Tanner, Members of the Renton City Council:
Please be advised that the Renton Municipal Court gives its full support to the funding of
a full time victims advocate position. This position is essential to insuring that domestic
violence matters before the court are handled promptly, fairly and appropriately. Ms.
Tracy Thomas, who is the current advocate retained by the City of Renton, has done an
outstanding job with the limited time and resources available; however, she clearly needs
more time to provide support to the victims, the prosecutor's office and the court. I fully
support the use of local law enforcement block grant funds to expand the number of hours
Tracy works.
PUBLIC HEARING
LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT BLOCK GRANT
SEPTEMBER 8, 1997
The Bureau of Justice Assistance makes funds available to local governments under the
Local Law Enforcement Block Grants (LLEBG) Program for the purposes of reducing
crime and improving public safety. Funds may be used for one or more of the following
seven purpose areas:
• Law enforcement support
• Enhancing security
• Establishing or supporting drug courts
• Enhancing adjudication of cases involving violent offenders
• Establishing a multijurisdiction task force
• Establishing crime prevention programs
• Defraying the cost of indemnification insurance for officers
The grants require a local match of 10%, which must be cash. Cities have two years to
expend the funds after receiving the award. Prior to obligating the funds, Renton will be
required to review the application and make non-binding recommendations on the use of
the funds. A public hearing must also be held.
Renton has been preapproved for the 1997 grant of$61,656. The local match is $6844.
In Renton, the staff and Advisory Committee have recommended that the funds be used
for legal advocacy services for victims of domestic violence. A victim court advocate was
hired with 1996 Local Law Enforcement Block Grants, and this will continue those
services. The use of grant funds for this purpose is supported by the Police Department,
Court, Community Services Department, and City Attorney's Office.
The Human Services Division of the Community Services Department receives and
administers the funds. They also fulfill all the reporting requirements of the Bureau of
Justice. For more information, call Karen Marshall, at 235-2724.

October 7. 1996 Renton City Council Minutes Page 370
Councilman Edwards inquired as to why a full closure was recommended and
not the closure of one lane or changing the street to one way only. Mr. Henry
answered that the costs would increase significantly due to traffic control
expenses and work space limitations.
Ruthie Larson, 714 High Ave. S., Renton, 98055, asked if the 60-day time
period was 60 working days or 60 continuous days. She also asked about the
status of the drainage ditch in that area. Stating that a smooth wall finish
may encourage graffiti, Ms. Larson expressed her support for the fractured
fin wall finish.
Mr. Henry answered that the time period is 60 working days, however, the
actual work will not begin until about 20 days into the project. Referring to
Ms. Larson's drainage ditch inquiry, Mr. Henry said that the ditch will remain
there but the water will be directed to flow into a catch basin.
Responding to Ms. Larson's question regarding the possibility of an early snow
and the effects it might have on the project, Mr. Henry said that provisions
will be made including the possibility of opening up Cedar Ave. to traffic.
MOVED BY NELSON, SECONDED BY EDWARDS, COUNCIL APPROVE
WSDOT'S REQUEST TO CLOSE CEDAR AVENUE FOR 60 DAYS AND
BUILD THE RETAINING WALL. CARRIED.
At Council direction Mr. Henry confirmed that the fractured fin finish will
be applied.
Responding to Council inquiry, Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator
Gregg Zimmerman said the City is working with the State project engineer to
see that catch basins will be constructed to solve the frontage road drainage
problem. Mr. Zimmerman added that the project will be completed by City
crews.
PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published
Human Services: Local in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Tanner opened the public
Law Enforcement Block hearing to consider a local law enforcement block grant for domestic violence
Grant for Domestic victims legal advocacy services. The block grants are available to cities and
Violence Victims Legal states to reduce crime and improve public safety.
Advocacy Services
Karen Marshall, Human Services Manager, explained that the City has been
pre-approved for the grant amount of $53,478. One requirement of the grant
is to establish an advisory board made up of representatives from the
Prosecutors Office, the Court, Police Department, DAWN, Human Services
Department, Renton Youth Services and YWCA to review the application.
Ms. Marshall reported that the advisory board recommended that the money
be used to hire a Victim Court Advocate which will be a two year, twenty
hour per week position. The Advocate's duties will include assisting the
victims with legal processes and informing them of available community
resources.
Audrey Moore, Community Programs Coordinator for the Renton Police
Department Crime Prevention Unit, reported that the Crime Prevention Unit
conducted a statistical analysis covering a three year period (1993 - 1995) and
also surveyed domestic violence victims within Renton city limits. She
detailed those domestic violence statistics, noting that although African
Americans make up 6.6% of Renton's population (1990 Population Census),
October 7. 1996 Renton City Council Minutes Pane 371
this racial group has reported 25% of all domestic violence incidences. In
closing, she reported that after asking victims what could be done to further
aid them, she was told that they would like more follow-up by police and the
court system after an incident has occurred.
Marla Mason, Community Programs Director at the Domestic Abuse Women's
Network (DAWN), explained that DAWN has been providing services in South
King County for fifteen years and described the services the organization
provides to battered women. Ms. Mason detailed the needs of domestic
violence victims, pointing out that safety from further abuse is the most
important need. The primary way to achieve this is by the criminal justice
system through the use of protection orders and by the prosecution of
offenders. She spoke in support of the City's hiring of a Domestic Victim
Advocate, adding that it will aid DAWN in enhancing its collaboration with
the City in the fight against domestic violence.
Shannon Inglis, City Attorney's Office, addressed the Municipal Court's need
for the advocate position. She reported various statistics relating to the
criminal prosecution of offenders, noting that domestic violence accounts for
23% of all criminal and non-traffic cases. Ms. Inglis said that the person in
the new advocate position will make contact with the victims and provide
information and support to victims throughout the prosecution of the
offenders. She concluded by saying that this position will aid in not only
reducing court and police department costs, but will better serve the victims
because this person will possess the background and training required for the
position.
Audience comment was invited.
Jerry Lawson, 1615 Harrington Ave. SE, Renton, 98058, spoke concerning the
statistic regarding the percentage of African Americans reporting domestic
violence incidences. Mr. Lawson inquired as to why Ms. Moore only
highlighted this statistic and not statistics about other racial groups.
Responding to Mr. Lawson, Ms. Moore explained that she focused on this
racial group because the percentage of African Americans that reside within
the City limits compared to the number of domestic violence incidences
reported is disproportionate. She said that it is her job to find areas in the
City where problems occur and address them. Ms. Moore proceeded to recite
the 1993 - 1995 domestic violence population statistics for all racial groups
including: Caucasian, African American, Asian American, American Indian
and other.
Upon inquiry, Ms. Marshall replied that the Victims Advocate will be housed
in the Community Services Administration Building in Liberty Park. She said
this was the only space available which would afford privacy for the victims.
Continuing, Ms. Marshall said that the City's cost share for this position is
10% or $5,348, which will be paid from the Human Services budget.
There being no further audience comment, it was MOVED BY SCHLITZER,
SECONDED BY EDWARDS, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
CARRIED.
Public Hearing
Local Law Enforcement Block Grant
October 7, 1996
Local law enforcement block grants are available to cities and states to reduce crime
and improve public safety, and can be used for seven different purposes. One purpose
is establishing crime prevention programs that may, though not exclusively, involve
local law enforcement officials and are intended to discourage, disrupt, or interfere with
the commission of criminal activity, including sexual assault and domestic violence
programs.
Domestic violence is one of the greatest threats to family and community health. The
incidences of domestic violence in Renton is high. In 1995, there were 1932 domestic
violence dispatched calls through the Police Department. 345 domestic violence cases
were prosecuted. There were 246 domestic violence assaults. Domestic violence
accounts for 23% of all criminal and non-traffic cases.
Renton was pre-approved for the grant amount of $53,478. Cities have two years to
expend the funds after receiving the award. The City Council has already approved to
have the staff apply for the grant for this purpose, as per Resolution #3153. One
requirement of the grant is to establish an advisory board, which will review the
application for funding, and make non-binding recommendations for the use of the
funds.
The advisory committee (made up of the City of Renton Prosecutor, Court
Administrator, two representatives from the Police Department, Human Services
Manager, Director of Domestic Abuse Women's Network, staff from Renton Area Youth
Services, and staff from the YWCA) recommended that the funds be used for legal
advocacy services for victims of domestic violence. The use of these funds for this
purpose is also supported by the Police Department, the Community Services
Department, and the City Attorney's Office.
A Victim Court Advocate position will be a two year, twenty hour per week position with
the City of Renton. The primary duties are: conduct interviews with victims and assess
their willingness to assist with prosecution; compile criminal proceedings data related to
domestic violence; review police reports, prepare case information, consult with the
prosecutor on filing requirements and decisions; assist with case preparation; assist
and explain court proceedings, file protection orders, no contact orders and refer
individuals to community resources that will benefit domestic violence victims.
Another requirement of the grant is to have at least one public hearing regarding the
proposed use of the funds. The public hearing scheduled for tonight is for that purpose.

Domestic Violence in Renton, a three year study.
In 1993, the Renton Police Department Administrative Services Division, received
a Federal Grant to provide services to victims of Domestic Violence. With the funds
provided by this grant, police department reports were researched to locate domestic
violence victims. These victims were each called on the telephone and asked if they
wished to receive a free copy of their police report, and a brochure containing information
on area services provided to domestic violence victims. By the expiration of the grant, in
April of 1994, three years worth of reports/statistics had been researched, and 1,169
victims of domestic violence had been contacted in order to provide services.
After the expiration of the federal grant, the Crime Prevention Unit of the Renton
Police Department decided to continue providing referral information to victims of
domestic violence. Approximately twice each month, domestic violence reports are
researched in the police department's WANG computer system, in order to identify
victims. Each person is mailed a victim assistance follow-up letter that contains
information on referrals, group therapy offered by the Domestic Abuse Women's
Network, and their police department case number. In addition, brochures are added to
the letter, which contain extensive referrals about local area services (refer to addendum).
From the beginning of the federal grant in 1993, to July 31st, 1996, a total of 1,975
victims of domestic violence have been contacted for victim's assistance.
In order to obtain a clear picture regarding who is being victimized by domestic
violence in the City of Renton, so that appropriate services and programs could be
offered, it was decided that more information was needed. To this end, a statistical
analysis covering the period of 1993 - 1995, was conducted of domestic violence reports,
and a survey was sent to 337 crime victims asking for their comments and input.
Review of the statistical analysis provided information regarding victimization
trends in Renton.
3
Year: # of unique police case numbers: % of repeat victim records:
1993 573 10.05%
1994 647 13.26%
1995 540 10.50%
This information reveals that over the period of three years, an average 11.27%
of all police reports consist of repeat victims of domestic violence. When comparing this
information to the survey results, 65% of those who replied stated that they were victims
of repeat violence. This would indicate that the victims are not calling police in the
majority of the cases, and that the actual number of domestic violence incidents in the City
of Renton, is much higher than statistics reflect.
When researching domestic violence incidents in Renton to locate areas of most
common occurrence, the top three districts for all three years are: District 9, District 7,
and District 3. These three police districts cover the Renton Highlands and the southeast
portion of Renton (Renton Hill, Tiffany Park, Rolling Hills, etc.), and comprise the most
heavily populated residential neighborhoods in the City. It therefore makes sense that
these areas are the highest for domestic violence reports.
When reviewing the statistical analysis to determine the number of male verses
female victims, it was found that male victims comprise an average of 23.54% of all
reported incidents. For the crime victim's survey, the period of time June 1995 through
June 1996 was researched, and 337 adult crime victims were identified. Of these 337
crime victims, 18% were men. Of those who replied to the survey, only three identified
themselves as men.
The age group of the victims was also researched in order to identify any particular
group that may tend to be victimized more than others. The three year study revealed
three groups more likely to be victims, with average percentages of:
4
Age group: % of all incidents:
10-19 14.37%
20-29 38.72%
30-39 27.03%
This reveals that those between the ages of 20-29 are in the highest-risk group for
being victimized by domestic violence. An interesting correlation is revealed when this
information is compared to rape victims in the City of Renton for 1994 and 1995. The
highest-risk group for rape victims is between the ages of 19-25, and 39% of all rape
victims in 1995 were also Domestic Violence cases. It can be argued that victims in these
age groups may be more likely to experience violence due to their lack of experience in
dealing with relationships, and their lack of knowledge of resources available to aid them.
In both incidents of domestic violence and rape, the greater the age of the victims, the less
the likelihood of being victimized by either crime.
When reviewing the statistical analysis to determine if the race of the victims is
proportionate to the population distribution throughout the City of Renton, a disturbing
trend was discovered. According to the 1990 census (the most recent available), the
African-American population in Renton is reported to be 6.60% of the entire population of
the city. Over the three year period of the analysis, it was discovered that while the
African-American population is only 6.60% of the population, they are victimized an
average of 20.72% of all reported incidents. The other race vs. population information is
much more proportionate. The reason for the disproportionate number of African-
American victims is unknown. The census data is 6 years old and may not be accurately
reflecting the proportion of victims vs. population. It may be that African-Americans tend
to report incidents to the police more than other races, or it may be that African-
Americans are being victimized more in our City. Regardless, this information reveals a
specific group that will need to be targeted to provide more victim assistance information,
referrals and follow-ups.

A review of the Domestic Violence Victim's Survey has provided several areas of
interest regarding how victims perceive the criminal justice system, and domestic violence
victimization in general. Most of the victims who replied to the survey stated that they
had been the person to call 911 for help. Most victims were fairly happy with the 911
system and police response to the incident.
Approximately half of the victims replied that children were present during the
assault and witnessed the event. 27% of those who replied to the survey stated that they
had been abused themselves as children.
71% of victims stated that they had received injuries as a result of the assault, yet
only two people said that responding police officers had taken photos of their injuries for
inclusion in the police report. When asked to provide information concerning the weapon
used to assault them, the majority of the victims (74%) replied that hands and/or feet had
been the primary weapon. Other weapons used were: bottle, stick, metal bar, jack
handle, ash tray, gun and kitchen knife.
46% of the respondents said that the suspects were under the influence of drugs
and/or alcohol at the time of the assault. When asked what types of intoxicants the
suspects were under the influence of, the replies were: alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, crack,
crystal meth., and unknown types of drugs.
The majority of the victims (67%), replied that they did not assist in the
prosecution of their case. Only 23% stated that they had contact with a victim's advocate
regarding their report.
When asked what could be done to help their situation, most victims replied that
further follow-up would have been helpful. Several victims were unhappy with the
attitudes of the police officers who responded to the incident. Further information
regarding the results of the survey can be referred to in the addendum of this report.
The information received in both the 3 year statistical analysis and the Domestic
Violence Victim's Survey, provide a basis to review the efficacy of the services currently
being offered to victims by the City of Renton. The statistics show that women are the
6
victims in 76.46% of all reported cases, that the age group of 20-29 is the one most
commonly victimized, and that African-Americans tend to be victimized to a greater
extent than other racial groups in the City.
In addition, the Domestic Violence Victim's Survey reveals that most victims are
not reporting all of the crimes, about half of all incidents occur in the presence of children,
the majority of victims received physical injuries that are not being photographed for
evidence as part of the poice report, the majority of the victims are not assisting in the
prosecution of their cases, and that victims request greater follow-up and follow-through
by the criminal justice system.
There are several proposed ways to address the concerns reflected in this report.
The first would be for the Crime Prevention Unit of the Renton Police Department to
continue its efforts at providing follow-up and victim assistance referrals to all victims of
domestic violence. The Crime Prevention Unit also provides classes to the public on
Domestic Violence and Rape Prevention, and has already conducted two classes to date in
1996. Additional classes can be scheduled, with invitations sent to victims who have
reported being the victims of domestic violence, and can also be advertized through the
Block Watch and Business Watch newsletters. In addition, the Crime Prevention Unit
can work with apartment complex managers to attempt to provide classes to residents,
especially in neighborhoods where a majority of African-Americans reside.
The Human Services Department of the City has recently received a block grant to
provide Domestic Violence Victim Advocacy. With this new position, more victims will
be receiving the follow-up that they request and need. With direct victim assistance
provided by an advocate, it is possible that more victims may be encouraged to participate
in the prosecution of their abuser. The Human Services Department is also working on
funding for the Violence Against Women Federal Block Grant, in which funds will be
provided to purchase camera equipment for police officers. This equipment will enable
police patrols to take photos of victims injured in domestic violence cases, and to have
additional evidence for the police reports.
It is further recommended that patrol officers receive more in-service training
regarding the cycles of domestic abuse, the characteristics of batterers, and why victims
7
stay in abusive relationships. This training can be conducted by a Crime Prevention Unit
member, or a D.A.W.N. advocate. Further training may increase the sensitivity of officers
responding to incidents, and may not be as much of a concern to the victims when the next
survey is conducted two years from now.
Overall, domestic violence victims in the City of Renton have rated the response by
the criminal justice system, with an "average" score. With further services to be provided
by various City departments, and more in-service training for police patrol officers, it is
hoped that future surveys will reflect a higher level of satisfaction by crime victims in our
city.

Renton Police Department Domestic Violence Victim's Questionnaire - 1996
GENERAL INFORMATION:
337 questionnaires were mailed out to adult domestic violence victims during the
month of July, 1996. The police department's WANG computer was researched under
the assault codes 041-045, to locate and identify adult victims of domestic violence cases
that occurred in Renton between June 1995 through June 1996. 337 victims were
identified through this process (61 of whom were male victims), and questionnaires were
mailed to their last known address.
The survey was designed to be simple and easy for victims to complete, with most
of the questions requiring a"yes", "no" or"somewhat" answer. This format was designed
in the hopes of receiving a greater response from the victims.
The Crime Prevention Unit received a total of 24 completed surveys, or a mere 7%
return on the questionnaires. Of the 337 questionnaires that were mailed to victims, only
ten were returned as undeliverable (usually because the victims moved).
A brief summary of the survey results are listed below.

In addition to the above comments which were written in on the surveys,
three victims of domestic violence called to air their dissatisfaction.
On 7-15-96, a woman, who identified herself as an 84 year old victim of domestic
violence, called to speak about the abuse that consistently occurred in her family. The
survey had been sent to her daughter-in-law, who had moved away. This caller stated she
just wanted to speak about the problems, and said she felt there wasn't much assistance to
be had for the victims or for the suspects.
On 7-15-96, an unidentified woman called to say she had received the survey, and
wanted to state that she felt black people were discriminated against by the system. She
said that the public defender never returned phone calls, and that the system was "messed
up." She was very angry and defensive.
On 7-21, a woman called. She was very upset and said that she was pregnant and
living in Renton with her abuser. She said the suspect had threatened her kill her and her
baby if she called police again, and she didn't know what to do. This victim said she would
not testify against her abuser in any upcoming court cases, because she was in fear for her
life. She was provided with information on obtaining a restraining order, and with victim
assistance referrals to DAWN and other sources. The court process was also explained to
her.

Public Hearing
Local Law Enforcement Block Grant
October 7, 1996
Local law enforcement block grants are available to cities and states to reduce crime
and improve public safety, and can be used for seven different purposes. One purpose
is establishing crime prevention programs that may, though not exclusively, involve
local law enforcement officials and are intended to discourage, disrupt, or interfere with
the commission of criminal activity, including sexual assault and domestic violence
programs.
Domestic violence is one of the greatest threats to family and community health. The
incidences of domestic violence in Renton is high. In 1995, there were 1932 domestic
violence dispatched calls through the Police Department. 345 domestic violence cases
were prosecuted. There were 246 domestic violence assaults. Domestic violence
accounts for 23% of all criminal and non-traffic cases.
Renton was pre-approved for the grant amount of $53,478. Cities have two years to
expend the funds after receiving the award. The City Council has already approved to
have the staff apply for the grant for this purpose, as per Resolution #3153. One
requirement of the grant is to establish an advisory board, which will review the
application for funding, and make non-binding recommendations for the use of the
funds.
The advisory committee (made up of the City of Renton Prosecutor, Court
Administrator, two representatives from the Police Department, Human Services
Manager, Director of Domestic Abuse Women's Network, staff from Renton Area Youth
Services, and staff from the YWCA) recommended that the funds be used for legal
advocacy services for victims of domestic violence. The use of these funds for this
purpose is also supported by the Police Department, the Community Services
Department, and the City Attorney's Office.
A Victim Court Advocate position will be a two year, twenty hour per week position with
the City of Renton. The primary duties are: conduct interviews with victims and assess
their willingness to assist with prosecution; compile criminal proceedings data related to
domestic violence; review police reports, prepare case information, consult with the
prosecutor on filing requirements and decisions; assist with case preparation; assist
and explain court proceedings, file protection orders, no contact orders and refer
individuals to community resources that will benefit domestic violence victims.
Another requirement of the grant is to have at least one public hearing regarding the
proposed use of the funds. The public hearing scheduled for tonight is for that purpose.

Summary of the Advisory Committee Meeting on Legal Advocate Services
for Victims of Domestic Violence
In attendance:
Shannon Inglis, City Prosecutor
Audrey Moore, Renton Police Department
Darlene Allen, City of Renton Court Services
Laura Miccile, Renton Area Youth Services
Jackie Grimesay, DAWN
Celia Forrest, YWCA
Kevin Milosevich, Renton Police Department
Karen Marshall, City of Renton Human Services
Sheri Yeatts, the Domestic Violence Program Supervisor, from the King County
Prosecutor's Office shared with the group job descriptions for the legal advocates which
King County uses. She said that they look for: 1) someone with experience in domestic
violence; 2) knowledge/experience of the criminal justice system, and 3) a team player.
They also look for someone that can be respectful of other people's roles.
Sheri said that we must all understand the expectations of this person. We should talk
to the judge. In some cities the advocate has a beeper, to be accessible to police. Will
this person do case preparation? Will they order all 911 tapes? She felt that it was very
important to build in time to connect with other advocates - that is often overlooked.
Jackie Grimesay from DAWN said they have a 35 hour training course starting in
October, and this person can participate in it.
There was substantial discussion as to whether benefits should be or should not be
offered to this person. It was decided to leave it up to the advocate as to if they want
benefits or not; if they did not then the hours can be increased.
A public hearing is required for this block grant. The public hearing will be at the
October 7, 1996 City of Renton Council Meeting. It was suggested that we use the
public hearing as an opportunity to educate about domestic violence. Audrey, Jackie,
and Shannon will attend.
Shannon, Darlene, Audrey, Jackie, Laura, Celia, and Karen will be the interview panel.
It was suggested that we get the list of interview questions which Sheri uses. Karen
agreed to do this, and circulate them to everyone for changes/additions/deletions.
Karen will advertise the position, screen the applicants, and then set up the interviews
for the interview panel.
