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, C4, C5, C6, C7, and E); 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, C4, C5, C6, 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(Law Enforcement ), E2 (Prosecution), E3 (Courts) & E4 (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.

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.

[If a grantee enters a reason in “other” the following will pop up: “Victim declined services,” “victim did not complete program,” and “victim could not be contacted” are all inappropriate reasons and should not be reported in the “other” category. They indicate a misunderstanding of when to report victims as partially served or not served. Please refer to the separate instructions for further explanation and for examples.]

Demographics of victims/survivors served or partially served
(Based
on the victims/survivors reported in 25A and 25B, report the total
numbers for all that apply. Because victims/survivors may identify
in more than one category of race/ethnicity, the total for
race/ethnicity may exceed the total number of victims/survivors
reported in 25A and 25B. However, the total number of
victims/survivors reported under “Race/ethnicity” should
not be less than
the total number of victims/survivors reported in 25A and 25B. The
total number of
victims/survivors
reported under “Gender” and the total number reported
under “Age” should equal the total number of
victims/survivors reported in 25A and 25B; those
victims for whom race/ethnicity, gender, and/or age are not known
should be reported in the “unknown” category.)

If a victim/survivor experienced more than one type of victimization and/or was victimized by more than one perpetrator, count the victim/survivor in all categories that apply. The total number of relationships in the sexual assault column must be at least [insert sum of sexual assault victims reported in 25A and 25B]; the total number in the domestic violence/dating violence column must be at least [insert sum of domestic violence victims reported in 25A and 25B]; and the total number in the stalking column must be at least [insert sum of stalking victims reported in 25A and 25B].)

Primary victims/survivors whose calls are reported here should not be reported as victims/survivors served in question 25 unless they also received at least one of the services listed in question 29A Victim Services. Victims/survivors who receive services such as crisis intervention or victim advocacy over the telephone, in addition to basic hotline information and/or referrals, should also be reported in question 29A. Hotline calls that include victim advocacy or crisis intervention services are those that require more time than the average call and involve a more intensive focus on the immediate needs and situation of the victim.

It is strongly suggested that you refer to the separate instructions for examples of how to count and characterize cases.)
Misdemeanor and felony domestic violence cases may include any assaults, battery, vandalism, or other offenses that occurred in a domestic violence incident. Your state law does not have to name an offense ‘‘domestic violence’’ for a case addressing that offense to be counted here.
