CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
Prob 1 em
~unding for the Victim Support Services program is running out! Unless
$23,000 can be located the program must be terminated.
RecolTlT1endat16n/s
1. Pursuant to our conversation that the City Council be approached with
a request to fund the remaining 6 months of F.Y. 88/89 in the amount of
$23,000.00.
2. If funding cannot be obtained that the Victim Support Services program
be terminated on January 2, 1989.
Findings
1. Although the original proposed budget suggests a total budget of $57,501.00,
it is estimated that the Victim Support Services program can be operated on
$23,000.00. This amount would provide wages, pay the beeper and telephone
bill. Rent is Currently free and will continue to be provided in the Cultur-
al Center. This amount is a "bare bones", sustaining only budget for fiscal
year 88/89, second half (Jan. thru June).
2. Victim Supoort Services has been partially funded by the Community Block
Grant Funds in the amount of S19,998.84 with a carryover of $3,345.59 from
fiscal 87/88 funding from the General Fund. This total of $23,344.43 is the
only monies presently available to operate the program. To date, approximately
$18,660.00 has been spent. The approximately $4,756.00 remaining is proba-
bly sufficient to sustain the program until the first week in January 1989.
3. From July 1984 through January 1988 the program was funded through Community
Development Block Grant Funding with an additional one thousand dollar grant
from the Arrowhead United Way. In January 1988 the City Council allocated
$23,000.00 to sustain the program through the remainder of the 1987/88 fiscal
yea r.
4. We have been unsuccessful in attracting additional funding for this program
to date. Originally we were led to believe that the fund shortage of
$32,200.00 (see attached proposed budget) could be obtained through a State
Office of Criminal Justice Planning Grant. The State did not send out requests
for proposals until the end of July and the first part of August 1988.
While filling out the paperwork we found that we were not eligible for O.C.J.P.
Funds because we were not a Private nonprofit corporation and did not have
a tax exempt status. We found that funding through Arrowhead United Wa~could
not be processed until February, We were unsuccessful in attracting funding

through at least eight (8) other foundations.
5. We also found that two similar programs in the County of San Juaquin
and the City of Oceanside were funded by their respective General Funds
rather than grants.
6. Police personnel who make use of the program, administrators and a very
large number of agencies, both private ~;Id public, other businesses
and most importantly past crime victims are anxious to' see the Victim
Support Services Program remain in operation.
7. The first four months of this fiscal year the following statistical
data suggests that the two full time and one part-time counselors have
been very productive:
New Clients 131
Current Caseload 272
In Person Contacts 236
Telephone Contacts 616
Cultural Center Contacts 553
Beneficiaries 488
3. Few options to the Victim Support Services Program are available as
an alternative.

NOTE: The following reflects previous funding:
In Mid Fiscal Year, (January) 1987/88, Victim Support
Services lost its funding through the Family Services
Agency. In January 1988, the City Council allocated
$23,000 to Victim Support Services through June 30,
1988. In the present Fiscal Year (1988/89) Victim
Support Services was funded from Community Block
Development Grant Funds in the amount of $19,000.
This, plus a $3,345 carryover, has operated the
program thus far. Attemps to obtain additional funds
have been unsuccessful.

received were FICA, sick leave and vacation pay.
In September of 1984, Victim Support Services moved to Family Service Agency
at 1669 N. "E" Street. There were two full time employees and one half time
er~loyee; full benefits were given to V.S.S. employees, including a retirement
plan. Funding was as follows:
July 1984 - July 1985 $68,000.00 C.D.B.G.
1,000.00 United Way
July 1985 - July 1986 $68,000.00 C.D.B.G.

are two full time employees and one quarter time employee; at this time there
are no employee benefits. V.S.S. funding in February of 1988 came from the San
Bernardino City Council, for $23,000.00. In July of this year, V.S.S. again
received funds from C.o.B.G. funds in the amount of $19,998.84. These C.O.B.G.
funds, plus a modest carryover of money allocated in February, have been the

MEMORANDUM
To KEN HENDERSON
....Jbject V I CT 1M SUPPORT SERV ICES
From VICTIM SUPPORT SERVICES
Dlte MARCH 28, 1988
ApprOVed
Date
The VICTIM SUPPORT SERVICE Program was established in Sept. of 1983 to
meet the needs of crime victims by providing a team of crisis interven-
tion counselors exclusively available on a 24 hr. basis to the San Bern-
ardino Police Department.
It is essential for a Police Officer to seek the help of a crime vkt1m
to learn what happened, identify the suspect, and testify in court. When
called to a crime scene, a VSS Counselor will be involved in each of these
steps making the event less traumatic for the victim.
When a crime victim is given support and encouragement, they are more will-
ing to get involved with the criminal justice system which results in more
cases filed and sucessfully prosecuted. This makes the police more efficient.
The VSS Program was adminstrated and housed at the FAMILY SERVICE AGENCY OF
SAN BERNARDINO, 1669 N. "E" Street, San Bernardino. Due to COGS cutbacks in
the 1987-88 grant allocation, the VSS Program exhausted its funds on Jan. 31st,
1988, and the program was tenninated at that time. The City Council funded -
Victim Support Services for the remaining 5 months of FY 87/88 and the Victim
Support Services is housed at the City Cultural Center with the Area liB" Police
Service Center and functionally administrated by a Police Lieutenant.
To continue offering the program to the citizens of San Bernardino for the next
Fiscal Year (88/89) $57,500.00 is needed. The San Bernardino Police Department
will also apply to OCJP (Office of Criminal Justice Planning) for grant funding
to continue the program beyond June 30th, 1988. The Department will also seek
private support from the community in continuint the program. The estimated
program cost for FY 88/89 is $57,500.00, which is $12.00.00 less than the program
cost under the Family Service Agency.
The VSS Program offered to the citizens of San Bernardino is one of two programs
that exist in Southern 'alifornia. The other program is located within the
City of Oceanside and is funded about 50/50 by the City of Oceanside and OCJP.
This program is administered by the Oceanside Police Department.
There are other victim assistance programs offered throughout the County of San
Bernardino. VSS Counselors work exclusively. for the San Bernardino Police
Department and those persons who are victims of crime within the city.
Victim Support Services is the only on call crisis intervention support program
in the County of San Bernardino. Other programs make contact within days,
often weeks after the crime. and none of them assist on non crime situations.

ATTACHMENT
PROGRAM: VICTIM SUPPORT sr Ell
Following necessary development, ~xamination and consideration in May 1~.
Community Development Commission Resolution 4515 funded the Victim Support
Services Program by creating the San Bernardino City Victim CriSis Interven-
tion Team, and providing victimology training to approximately 175 members
of the San Bernardino Police Department. In September of 1984, the program
~s transferred to the Family Service Agency of San Bernardino, until January
of 1988 At that time Family Service lost partial funding and dropped Victim
Support Services. The City Council funded Victim Support. Services for the re-
laainder of the fiscal year (5 months) under a separate budget but administered
by the Police Department.
Statistical data indicates that a serious crime is reported to the local police
in roughly 1:11 proportion to the population; one of every 11 citizens may be
at risk as a victim of crime. Victimization results in feelings of anger, fear,
guilt, depression, helplessness and hopelessness. These feelings create dysfunc-
tion ranging from family tension to loss of employment. Police response to
crime situations revolves around prevention, apprehension and investigation.
leaving little time to attend to victim needs. Officers are exposed to the
:rincip1es of victimo1ogy in their training, but ongoing assistance to victims
is not within the scope of their day-to-day functioning.
7he Victim Support ~~rvices Program meets victim needs by providing a team of
:,..is1s i ltervention workers (3 employees, 2 full-time and 1 part-time) who are
:n 24-hour call to the Police Department and its. officers. The Team members
respond innediately to requests from the field by a paging service activated by
the Police Dispatcher. by card referral from officers in the field, and through
phone calls from victims. The Team provides crisis counseling services, referral
for a variety of. other community provided programs, supportive assistance

through the witness phase of court involvement and follow-up contacts during
the initial periOd of emotional trauma upon victimization. The Team coordinates
its' activity and effort with many existing social service groups, thereby
providing Police Officers a "one call service", I.E., the officer need only
contact the Team for a full array of service and referral information. Upon
becoming involved, the Team may provide all necessary direct and referral
service, freeing the officer for other duties.
Any victim of a crime that has been reported to the City Police Department is
a potential user of Victim Support Services intervention. Team focus is on
low to moderate income referrals, but any crime victim may use the Service.
The Team can respond in non-crime situations to assist citizens in the following
situations: suicide and attempted suicides, emotional trauma and distress at
traffic accident scenes, assisting senior citizens who contact law Enforcement
for a variety of non-crime related problems and fears, non-criminal and non-
suicid~ death situations where officers are called to a scene and feel the need
for crisis counseling services until Clergy or other family members can
arrive to provide support and assistance, and temporary involvement on an
emergency basis with lost or runaway minors. None of these situations involve
.crime", but are services provided to the Police Department.
%f fundpd, the program shall: provide direct and referral services to 400
persons, provide a minimum 40 informational presentations to Police Officers
at Watch Change Briefings, make a minimum of 175 contacts at the Police operat-
ed Community Oriented Policing (C.O.P.) Offices, participate with liaison Officer
assigned to the program by the Police Department.
