A statement of the problem that the project seeks to address. The Miami Beach Police Department is committed to combining the efforts of community policing in conjunction with counselors to combat domestic violence. The program will provide a decentralized approach by developing a domestic violence center within the community encouraging an accessible avenue for victims. The Miami Beach Police Department will work in concert with Victim Services Center to assist victims with referrals, housing, counselling and prosecution. The agencies will develop a partnership devoted to enhancing the enforcement and social facets involved to address domestic violence. 2. An explanation of what your agency has done prior to solve the problem. The Miami Beach Police Department developed the Domestic Violence Unit in August of 1993 . The Domestic Violence Coordinator has realized the following accomplishments since its inception. a. Located shelters for victims through outreach program. b. Developed a highly effective networking relationship with other civic organizations while providing this resource information to victims of domestic violence. c. Increased the awareness of domestic violence for employees of the police department and the community by implementing training. d. Assisted victims in completing restitution or compensation forms. e. Maintained liaison with the appropriate agencies to obtain restraining orders, domestic violence injunctions and counseling. f. Offered emotional support to victims and witnesses which increased the probability of cooperation with the judicial system. g. Provided statistical information on domestic related calls for service. The aforementioned Domestic Violence Coordinator is limited to working one shift, forty hours per week. The incidence of domestic violence cases has increased dramatically since 1992 . In 1992 , there were 497 reported cases; in 1993 , there 797 cases reported; in 1994 , there were 1, 003 documented cases of domestic violence. The escalation represents a 101% increase in 23 reported cases in just two years. While the efforts of the Domestic Violence Coordinator have been successful, additional services are required to provide immediate crisis services and follow-up of domestic violence offenses. In addition, a Community Policing Program has been implemented to provide a partnership with the community to enhance the quality of life. A decentralized sub- station has been opened in the north section of Miami Beach, and the citizens have become active in working together with the police department to enhance the community. 3. The goals and objectives of the project. GOALS: 1. To enhance the quality and quantity of service to victims of domestic violence. 2 . To augment services to address the exigent short- term needs of domestic violence victims. 3 . To expand the partnership involving police and the community to intensify service. OBJECTIVES: 1. To increase the number of counselors available to provide emotional support and referrals to victims. 2 . To reduce the recidivism rate of domestic violence calls by conducting training and community outreach programs. 3 . To increase awareness of domestic violence and training by establishing a community-based support center. 4 . To consolidate efforts with community policing, Victim Services Center and the Domestic Violence Unit to increase the participation of victims in the prosecution of domestic violence subjects. 4. The anticipated outcomes of the project. The expectations of the Miami Beach Police Department are to work with Victims Services Center, a non-profit organization, to develop viable resources to address domestic violence Victims Services Center currently receives referrals from the police department, therefore, the mechanics are in place to expand our efforts. 24 • The project would add two coordinators to provide training, counsel victims, establish community awareness events, assist with housing and refer individuals for obtaining protection injunctions. The coordinators would be a segment of the communal support base dedicated to aiding in the elimination of violence. The coordinators will monitor statistical data involving domestic crimes. The information will be used to dictate enforcement efforts based on compilation of the facts. In addition, the latest legislative addendums regarding domestic violence, stalking and sexual battery will be distributed to police personnel to ensure that victims are afforded all opportunities available to them. A neighborhood support center will be established to provide an accessible means for victims to receive assistance. In addition, the facility will be used for group meetings and community forums to foster a team approach in confronting domestic violence. The partnership involving community policing, Victim Services Center, the Domestic Violence Unit and the citizens will strive to lower incidents of violence through prosecution and prevention. 25 B. Partnership and the Memorandum of Understanding. 1. Provide background information on the nonprofit, nongovernmental agency with which your department intends to partner for this project. Include agency personnel size, budget, source of funding, location, mission statement, and objectives. Victim Services Center (VSC) has been founded to fulfill the mission statement of providing victims of crime relief from the mental effects that commonly follow traumatic events. VSC has the secondary mission statement of bringing relief to trauma victims of any type. Our objectives include providing cost-effective short-term treatment that eliminates the effects of trauma and empowers any type of victim to return to normal. We also have the secondary objective of providing student interns meaningful training and experience. VSC is unique in that is counselors will use an approach called Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR) . TIR has been the subject of studies with those who suffer from PTSD and anxiety. TIR has proven to be effective in reducing or eliminating PTSD in a relatively brief amount of time (six to 16 hours) . VSC will be participating in a study of TIR, which will replicate the study done on crime victims in London, England. VSC is able to service clients of all ages and nationalities. VSC currently has three staff members - Teresa Descilo, C.T.S. , is the Director, Shirley Hawkesworth, L.C.S.W. , is the Assistant Director, and Judy Gjebre is the Administrative Director. Victor Lyons is holding the job of Technical Director as a volunteer. There are three part time social work students and 10 volunteers trained in TIR. Florida International University and Barry University will provide more interns as needed. VSC has applied for a grant from the National Institute of Justice and funding from the Board of County Commissioners. We will be receiving partial payment for our services from the Victim's Compensation Fund. The main office is located at the office of the Dade County State Attorney' s Office: 1350 N.W. 12th Avenue, Miami, Florida 33136. 2. Describe the past relationship between your department and the nonprofit, nongovernmental agency with which your department intends to partner for this project. Please 26 provide any success stories as a result of this partnership. The relationship between the Miami Beach Police Department and the Victim Services Center began in August 1995. Since that time, the Miami Beach Police Department has referred ten (10) victims to the Center. 3. Clearly outline the responsibilities and obligations of both partners in this project. Provide a discussion of the respective roles of the partners throughout the project and any plans to ensure that the partners are represented equally throughout this project. The Miami Beach Police Department and Victims Services Center will be in a joint partnership with an emphasis on community policing to combat domestic violence. The department will refer crime victims to Victim Services in order to provide free or affordable mental health services for the resolution of trauma. Below are the services to be rendered: 1. Two (2) City of Miami Beach Domestic Violence Coordinators will refer victims of domestic violence to Victim Services for counseling sessions to be held twice a week for a total of 3 and one half hour sessions. These sessions will be staffed by a Victim Services staff member and interns from a state university who are acquiring their graduate degree (MSW) in a related social or psychological field. Payment for said staff member will be rated at $25. 00 per hour with above-mentioned interns providing service on a volunteer basis. 2 . The sessions will take place in a facility provided by the police department, physically located in the north end of the city. The emphasis of this program is to provide referral service to the victims of domestic violence as well as in-house professional counseling. The location of this office will enable victims to attend without transportation problems and will provide services to individuals in an area that has a high statistical rate for this crime. 4. Attach a copy of the memorandum of understanding signed by your agency' s head and the head of the agency with which your agency intends to collaborate for this project. Applications without a signed memorandum of understanding will not be considered. The copy of the Memorandum of Understanding is attached. C. Community Policing Strategy 27 1. Community policing has been practiced agencywide or on a special unit basis for at least 2 years. The Miami Beach Police Department has used the community policing concept in targeted areas for several years. The Ocean Drive area utilizes bicycle patrol officers in order to adequately service this visible area. This unit has developed a rapport with the Ocean Drive Association and developed open communications through direct contact and attending regular meetings. The officers are engaged in problem-solving through this co-active relationship. The officers proactive response to the crime and disorder issues that created the need for this unit, has reduced the crime rate in that targeted area. This program has been so successful, it has expanded to be a demand from the public for more of this type of policing in other areas. Plans to expand the community policing project are underway. The Miami Beach Police Department has made a commitment to the North Beach area of the city to institute community policing. Bicycle beats were established in two (2) sections of the heavily traveled business district. However, due to manpower constraints, these beats do not cover all of the district and scheduling only permits coverage part of the week and on one shift. Future plans include expansion of the beats and coverage seven days a week on two (2) shifts (days and evenings) . As part of the city' s commitment to the North Beach area, a new community policing substation was opened on December 21, 1994 . This stations allows the department to bring some services closer to the area. It is the focal point of the community policing unit. It is staffed 24 hours a day. The Crime Prevention Unit and a Domestic Violence Coordinator also work out of this substation. The substation also provides a community meeting room that is utilized by many neighborhood organizations. 2. Officers receive community policing training with a strong, problem-solving focus. Community Policing training is integrated within the curriculum of courses a new recruit receives. In addition, in 1996, the police department will sponsor a series of training programs directly related to Community Policing. The first in the series will be a strategy session for the police department command staff. Following that, day long community policing sessions will be held for all 28 members of the police department. The police department is currently reviewing proposals with regard to the selection of a company to provide the training. • 3. The department has a strong commitment to taking an analytical approach to reducing crime problems. Each Monday, a command staff meeting is held. An intricate part of the meeting is a crime analysis presentations and discussions of the problems/solutions primarily focused on a multi-disciplinary approach. Crime problems are resolved through the use of all resources and, in particular, the involved neighborhood. There are many active neighborhood and business associations in the city and they are considered intricate to the solution and actively participate. 4. The department has technologically advanced crime- analysis capabilities. The police department has highly sophisticated crime analysis capabilities. The Crime Analysis Unit is capable of providing a wide variety of reports, including geo-mapping. 5. Two examples of successful problem-solving efforts. Two examples of successful problem-solving efforts involved the Ocean Drive Association and the Washington Avenue Association. In July 1992, the police department implemented the Sector Community Policing Patrol Plan. The Sector Plan was implemented in order to have the police department deliver community policing. The Sector Plan has been in place over two years and is working to the extent that our depleted manpower permits and demands in terms of Calls for Service. In addition to the Sector Plan, the police department, in cooperation with the Miami Beach Housing Authority, has implemented a community-oriented policing team for the Housing Authority public housing sites. The major attraction in the city is the area known as Ocean Drive. This area is a world renown tourist and entertainment area. Though only 16 blocks in length, it is an entertainment area that rivals any other place in the world. With this success, the attend crime, traffic and other problems have evolved. In order to address the concerns of the city, the 29 business community, the residents and the visitors to the area, the Ocean Drive Association and the City entered into a unique partnership. This partnership evolved over the course of two years and countless meetings with all concerned to arrive at a consensus decision' as how to proactively address the issues. The result was an agreement between the City and the Ocean Drive Association wherein the parties jointly fund a dedicated array of city services that include an eight (8) person Community Police Unit, Park Services, Sanitation Services, etc. This effort became operational on October 1, 1993 . The following year, the Washington Avenue Association followed suit. Washington Avenue is adjacent to Ocean Drive and is rapidly becoming as popular, and those concerned desired the same type of city services as Ocean Drive. In keeping with the police department ' s commitment to community policing, in 1994 , the Washington Avenue Tax District was formed. III. Budget Narrative 1.

Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR) Training and Victim Services IN BRIEF: Victims of violent crimes in Miami have very few options as far as finding relief for the mental stress that usually follows any traumatic event. There is no agency set-up in Dade County to address the mental health needs for the 260,000 yearly victims of crime. Over 60,000 cases a year are handled by the States Attorneys Office Victim Witness Services. The Director of Victim Witness Services will support an effort to help these victims, specifically using TIR as the counseling approach. In fact, the State's Attorney has given us a letter of commitment to refer us victims. • TIR is a regressive desensitization procedure for eliminating the negative residual effects of traumatic experience. While TIR like many other procedures, finds it's principles clearly stated in the earliest writings of Freud and Pavlov, TIR differs from other approaches in that it is highly structured, but person-centered. TIR has recently been the subject of a research with victims of violence in London, England. The approach was so successful, Victim's Assistance in London hired a counselor who practices this approach to continue his work with victims. • We are looking for volunteers to help with Victim Services in Miami. Volunteers would be taught TIR free of charge (except for a S20 fee for a course pack) and be eligible for Basic Certification in TIR. The requirements for Basic Certification are: 1 . Successful completion of the TIR workshop; 2. Delivery of 50 hours of TIR to two or more clients with pre and post tests, which will be supplied; 3. Audio taping one session and 4. Submitting session worksheets, the audio tape, tests and S40 processing fee to Metapsychology of Florida, 18721 S. Dixie Hwy, #224, Miami, Fl. 33157 In exchange for the training, volunteers will give 50 hours of session time to Victim Services at a minimum of four hours (1 client) per week. Volunteers who participate will benefit in that they are receiving a solid, effective, clinical skill that will serve them well in future practice. Those who pursue their certification in Basic TIR will become part of a tek ®r 49 TIR Workshop Schedule Three workshops will be given in August and September. The schedule is as follows: The first workshop will be given evenings and one Saturday starting Monday, August 28 and ending September 6. The second workshop will be held on September 22, 23, 29, and 30. The third workshop will begin on September 27 and conclude on September 30. See the calender below for full date and times. The trainings will be given at the State's Attorney's Office, 1 350 NW 12th Avenue, Room 409. The cost of the training for those not volunteering hours is $350 if registered before August 15 and $400 after that. The full time student rate is $250 if registered before August 15 and $300 after that date Continuing Education: This workshop,sponsored by Metapsychology of South Florida, provides 28 CE credits for Psychologists, Marriage & Family Therapists, Clinical Social Workers, and Mental Health Counselors. Participants in all specialties will be provided with documentation for use in securing CE credits for their perspective licensure boards and/or professional associations.

BACKGROUND The City has applied for grant funding in the amount of $98, 500. 00 from the United States Department of Justice "Community Policing to Combat Domestic Violence Program" . There is no cash match required by the City. The project would add two (2) Domestic Violence coordinators to provide training, counsel victims, establish community awareness events, assist with housing and refer individuals for obtaining protection injunctions. The Domestic Violence coordinators would be a segment of the communal support base dedicated to aiding in the elimination of violence.
