obligations under this Contract or any extension thereof, or if
Grantee breaches any of the promises, terms or conditions of
this Contract and, having been given reasonable notice of and
Rev. 08/04 2~

waiver or relinquishment of the Agency's right to enforce the
same in accordance with this Contract. It is expressly
understood and agreed that no waiver granted by Agency on
account of any violation of any promise, term or condition of
this Contract shall constitute or be construed in any manner as

Exhibit A
PART II. DESCRIPTIO?v OF PROJECT
A. THE PROBLEM
Statistical data is collected and maintained by the Domestic Violence Sexual
Assault Victim Services Coordinator. The coordinator is responsible for compiling and
presenting statistical reports on the county's domestic violence and sexual assault calls,
arrests and referrals to prosecution. The data provides HPD with a tool for developing
strategic planning on departmental resources and identifying training needs in the
administrative and field levels.
The collection of data reveals not only the magnitude of the problem but the
impact of police performance. For example, the Puna district which maintained a high
arrest rate saw a slight decline in abuse case numbers from 2004 and into 2006. Did the
high arrest rate produce less abuse or less reporting? Because data can be misleading,
diligent surveillance is imperative to understanding the domestic violence problem.
Besides high unemployment, substance abuse, low literacy, and population
increase, this particular district is further challenged by poor roads that stretch deep into
isolated rural areas compromising police response time. County of Hawaii Research and
Development projected district population for 2005 at about 36,351. Officers in the field
reported victims were increasingly uncooperative and offenders were fleeing the scene.
The VSC began looking at Assault cases involving intimate partners or family
household members and where abuse numbers declined, assault numbers were present.
Between January 2006 and July 2006 assault cases involving intimate partners or family
members totaled 29 and of those (9) Hilo, (9) Puna; (1) Hamakua; (5) Kona; (2) Kau; (1)
N. Kohala and (2) S. Kohala. As strangulation is a precursor to the use of a weapon, the
coordinator looked at strangulation in these abuse and assault cases and found 39 reports
of strangulation (13) Hilo, (12) Puna, (2) N. Hilo, (3) Hamakua, (3) Kau, (5) Kona and
(2) S. Kohala.
Other related domestic violence cases investigated during the period January -
July 2006 for the County of Hawaii include (2) Attempt Murder, (2) Murder, (2) Suicide,
(4) Kidnapping, (4) Unlawful Imprisonment, (21) Terror Threats, and (3i4) Violation of
Orders which include TRO-Harassment.
The monthly report for Apri] 2006 submitted by the DV/SA coordinator indicated
86 cases drawn for sex assault for the period January 1, 2006 through April 30, 2006. Of
those 86 cases (53) were for juveniles aged 17 and below. For the same period in 2005
the total sex assault cases for the county of Hawaii was 75.
East Hawaii, SANE, Merle Endo, reports sex assault exams for the period January
1, 2006 through June 30, 2006 total (19) for Area I, East Hawaii. Of those 19 exams (14)
were pre 72 hours and (5) post 72 hours. Of those 19 exams (8) were for juveniles ages
l4 and younger and (11) for victims aged 14 and older.
Mandatory arrest in abuse cases is effective in holding offenders accountable but
public outreach promotes victim safety. Strategically, the coordinator forwarded to
police districts domestic violence brochures, which are also on display in the drivers
license division.
The coordinator also engages in community liaison efforts with other agencies
that work with domestic violence and sexual assault victims, in a collaborative process to
develop resources for victims in Hawaii County.
While agencies hold trainings for service providers, there is little to no domestic
violence/sexual assault public outreach efforts. Training opportunities are not transferred
between government and non governmental service agencies fragmenting a coordinated
community response. Domestic violence/sexual assault brochures can be located in the
offices of service agencies for those who are mandated to a program or need specific
services.
Communities are isolated from access to information which is compounded by
insufficient public transportation. Imperative to victim safety is the ability to identify
abuse. The coordinator has addressed the need for domestic violence public outreach in
several service agency meetings. The coordinator has spoken very briefly with HPD
Administration/Training, Community Police, and Public Relations sections about the
need to bridge the outreach gap.
As part of the position's responsibilities, the Victim Services Coordinator calls all
adult female victims where cases are pending investigation or warning citations issued.
The DV/SA coordinator is not a victim advocate but can refer victims to crisis
intervention services or give information on their case if requested. Since January 1,
2006 through June 30, 2006 the coordinator has reviewed 479 Abuse incident sheets, 13$
sexual assault incident sheets, and 245 violation of order incident sheets. The coordinator
has mailed to victims police brochure, prosecutors safety plan, and where applicable
Crime Victim Compensation applications and brochures from Volunteer Legal Services
Hawaii.
The monthly reports to administration provide data that can be used in developing
a strategic plan to address crimes of sex assault and domestic violence.
What remains to be solved: the delivery of domestic violence and sex assault
outreach information to protect members of the community. The DV/SA coordinator will
work with sworn personnel by providing input through data and assist in facilitating
community meetings for the agency.
