L~- DS- 13 - AGKTJAD n (aeB EXHIBIT A VIOLENCE AGAINST CHILDREN PROJECT DESCRIPTION A. PROBLEM STATEMENT The Hawaii Police Department views physical and sexual violence against children as a serious problem which is being reported with much more frequency as cultural inhibitions diminish. Hawaii County has 3.6 confirmed cases of child abuse per 1000 residents, compared to 1.7 cases per 1000 in Honolulu County. The Hawaii Police Departments Juvenile Aid Sections in Area I (East Hawaii) and Area II (West Hawaii) have the responsibility of investigating extrafamilial and intrafamilial sexual and physical abuse of children in Hawaii County. Intrafamilial cases are investigated jointly with investigators from the Department of Human Services, Child Protective Services. AREA I (EAST HAWAII) The Hawaii Police Departments Juvenile Aid Sections in Area I (East Hawaii) has the responsibility of investigating these crimes in five of the County's eight Police Districts. These districts include Kau, Puna, South Hilo, North Hilo, and the Hamakua District. In 1994 the Area I (East Hawaii) Juvenile Aid Section investigated a total of 625 cases, 188 of which were sexual assault cases against children; 577 total cases in 1995, of which 170 cases were sexual assaults; 589 total investigations in 1996, 215 of these cases were sexual assaults. In 1997, up to August 31, 1997, Area :I JAS detectives have investigated 386 total cases, 113 of these were sexual assault cases. In addition to these investigations, there were 189 physical abuse referrals in 1994; 166 referrals in 1995; 122 referrals in 1996 and in 1997, up to August 31, 1997, there have been 108 referrals of physical abuse to the Area I Juvenile Aid Section. There are four Detectives and one patrol investigator permanently assigned and one patrol investigator temporarily assigned to the Area I Juvenile Aid Section. Of these, a Detective and patrol officer are assigned to the Gang Prevention, Enforcement and Intelligence unit. The remaining Officer and Detectives are assigned to investigate sexual and physical abuse cases as well as general investigative duties. The gang Detective Violence/Children Page 2 assists in abuse cases as the need arises. As shown above, the workload for these investigators can be overwhelming. AREA II (WEST HAWAII) During 1994 the Kona Juvenile Aid Section investigated a total of 214 cases, of which 116 were sexual assault cases; in 1995, 307 total cases of which 99 were sexual assault cases; in 1996, 446 total cases, of which, 92 were sexual assault cases and in 1997, up to August 31, 1997 a total of 280 cases of which 96 sexual assault cases have been investigated by Kona Juvenile Aid Section Detectives. The West Hawaii Juvenile Aid Section's area of responsibility includes the districts of Kona, South Kohala and North Kohala. It consists of one Supervisor, three Detectives and one patrol gang investigator. Presently the supervisor position, as well as one detective position is vacant. Currently, this grant provides for investigators to be placed on an eight hour standby basis daily. This complements the standby workers of the other agencies involved in this project. There have been 22 call-outs in 1995, 23 call-outs in 1996 and up to August 31, 1997, there have been 18 in Area I, East Hawaii. All stand-by investigators are assigned to be available after normal working hours to handle sexual and physical abuse cases. In West Hawaii, Area II, there have been 14 call outs in 1995, 9 call-out in 1996 and in 1997, up to August 31, 1997 there have been 6 call-outs. The standby capability has had a tremendous effect in response time. Contacting a detective on the average takes only one to five minutes. In the past, contacting a detective was contingent upon he or she being home or not. Response time in the past could take hours. The faster response has lead to an improvement in the quality of forensic evidence recovered in pre 72 hours cases. This capability has been further enhanced with the use of cellular phones by the detective on standby as well as the respective area Juvenile Aid Section commander. Violence/Children Page 3 We currently work in collaboration with the Children's Advocacy Center, Child Protective Services, the Prosecutors Office, and the Sexual Assault Support Services, to properly address this issue. All of our counterparts have investigators and counselors on a standby basis to provide services to the community. Also, it takes a knowledgeable investigator with special skills to interview child victims. Ongoing training and refresher training is needed to keep abreast of new techniques being developed to address these issues. B. GOAL To improve the quality of Hawaii Police Department's investigations into extrafamilial and intrafamilial sexual and physical abuse of children. C. OBJECTIVES 1. To provide seven investigators in the Juvenile Aid Sections with a minimum of one specialized training in the area of child sexual or physical abuse. Activities: Attend local and state training programs to keep abreast of the latest and most effective investigative techniques in this area. 2. To continue training of another 15 of the police personnel in Areas I and II, and another 5 members of the Hospital Emergency Room Registered Nursing staff in the collection and preservation of physical evidence, and issues involving child physical and sexual abuse cases. Activities: To continue the training curriculum for the patrol and supervisory level police personnel and hospital emergency room Registered Nurses, who handle the initial investigation and collection of evidence in physical and sexual abuse of children. 3. To maintain the "after-hour" availability of investigators to respond to child physical and sexual abuse calls within five minutes. Activity : Continued placement of Area I and II investigators on daily standby status during off duty periods to include weekends and holidays. Violence/Children Page 4 4. To improve the Investigative support of cases by maintaining a case management system for tracking cases within the Department. Activity : Continue the established case management system for tracking of child sexual and physical abuse investigations. 5.
