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.

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.]


2 7. 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.)
