SEMI-ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT FOR
Grants to Encourage Arrest Policies and
Enforcement of Protection Orders Program
Brief Instructions: This form must be completed for each Grants to Encourage Arrest Policies and Enforcement of
Protection Orders Program (Arrest Program) grant received. The grant administrator or coordinator must ensure that
the form is completed fully with regard to all grant activities. Grant partners, however, may complete sections relevant
to their portion of the grant. Grant administrators or coordinators are responsible for compiling and submitting a single
report that reflects all information collected from grant partners.
All grantees should read each section to determine which questions they must answer, based on the activities engaged
in under this grant during the current reporting period. Sections B, F, and G of this form must be completed by all grantees. In section A, subsection A1 must be answered. In section C, subsection C2 must be answered. In sections D, E,
and subsections A2, C1, C3, C4, C5, C6, and C7, grantees must answer an initial question in each section or subsection about whether they engaged in certain activities during the current reporting period. If the response is yes, then
the grantee must complete that section or subsection. If the response is no, the rest of that section or subsection is
skipped.
For example, 1) if you are a victim services agency providing training and victim services with staff funded under this
grant, you would complete A1, A2, B, C1, C2, D, F, and G (and answer ‘no’ in C3-C7, and E); or, 2) if you are a law enforcement agency receiving funds to pay for staff who provide training to other law enforcement officers, you would
complete A1, A2, B, C1, C2, F, and G (and answer ‘no’ in C3-C7, D and E1-E5).
Information reported in sections D (Victim Services) and E5 (Batterer Intervention Program) is for grant-funded activities
only. Information reported in sections E1-E4 (Law Enforcement, Prosecution, Courts, and Probation and Parole) must
reflect the activities of the entire agency receiving the Arrest Program funds. All information should reflect activities for
the current reporting period only.
The activities of volunteers or interns should be reported if they were coordinated or supervised by Arrest Program funded staff or if Arrest Program grant funds substantially supported their activities.
For further information on filling out this form, refer to the separate instructions, which contain detailed
definitions and examples, illustrating how questions should be answered.

What percentage of your Arrest Program grant funds was directed to each of these areas?
(Report the area[s] addressed by your Arrest Program grant during the current reporting period and estimate the
approximate percentage of funds [or resources] used to address each area [consider training, victim services,
etc.]. The grantee may choose how to make this determination.)
Throughout this form, the term sexual assault includes both assaults committed by offenders who are strangers
to the victim/survivor and assaults committed by offenders who are known to, related by blood or marriage to, or
in a dating relationship with the victim/survivor. The term domestic violence/dating violence applies to any pattern of coercive behavior that is used by one person to gain power and control over a current or former intimate
partner or dating partner. Stalking is defined as a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would
cause a reasonable person to fear for his or her safety or the safety of others, or suffer substantial emotional
distress.

25. Number of victims/survivors served, partially served, and victims/survivors seeking services who
were not served
Please do not answer this question without referring to the separate instructions for further explanation and examples of how to distinguish among these categories.
(Report the following, to the best of your ability, as an unduplicated count for each category during the current
reporting period. This means that each victim/survivor who was seeking or who received services during the current reporting period should be counted only once in that reporting period. For purposes of this question, victims/
survivors are those against whom the sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and/or stalking was directed. If the victim/survivor experienced more than one victimization, that person should be counted only once
under the primary victimization. Do not report secondary victims here.)

Domestic violence/

A. Served: Victims/survivors who received the service(s) they requested, if
those services were funded by your Arrest

B. Partially served: Victims/survivors
who received some service(s), but not all
of the services they requested, if those
services were funded by your Arrest Program grant
TOTAL SERVED and PARTIALLY SERVED

they were seeking, if those services were
