DESCRIPTIOI~T OF PROJECT A. PROBLEM The Hawaii Police Department views sexual violence against women as a serious problem that is being reported much more frequently as community awareness increases and societal and cultural inhibitions diminish. Hawaii Tribune Herald newspaper article on February 7, 2006 cites an increase in forcible rape of 76.1 percent in Hawaii County from 2003 to 2004. This is the highest on record since the start of the data collection in 1975. The Department's Sex Crimes Units, Area I (East Hawaii) and Area II (West Hawaii), have the responsibility of investigating al] sexual assaults. During 2003, the Sex Crimes Units investigated 449 sexual assaults reported within Hawaii County. According to the 2004 annual census, the population of Hawaii County in 2004 was 162,971, an increase of 4,236 from 2003. In 2004, the number of sexual assault cases pulled for Area I and Area II totaled 455. Currently, five (5) Sexual Assault Forensic Examiners (SAFE) are actively practicing within Hawaii County. Sexual assault victims no longer wait the horrid 5'/z hours in any emergency room for a forensic examination as occurred in 1995, even with the increase in population and the greater demand for service. A full time civil service SAFE Coordinator covering East/West Hawaii will be in place in October 2006. There have been promotions and retirements in the Sex Crimes Unit. Sex Assault Nurse Examiners have also retired or relocated. Funding is needed to train new SAFE and Sex Crime Unit investigators and to update the current SAFE examiners and Sex Crime Unit investigators. SAFE personnel receive extensive training in recognition, evaluation, and classification of various injuries which result from traumatic sexual contact. SAFE personnel also receive further training in forensic photography, evidence collection, report writing and other methods of documenting injuries for evidential purposes. The improved evidence collection and testimonial evidence provided by SAFE personnel to the Sex Crimes Unit investigator and Prosecutors has contributed to the successful prosecution of many sex offenders. Sex Assault Nurse Examiners and Sex Crimes Unit Detectives must have continual training to keep current on the learned techniques and new developments in sex assault investigations. Evidence collected by SAFE personnel aids detectives in successfully investigating and solving violent crimes against women in Hawaii County. SAFE personnel have also performed forensic examinations and evidence collection of female homicide victims to include victims of domestic violence where sexual assault is also suspected. 1 Forensic examinations are primarily performed by SAFE personnel at the Kona Hospital located in Kealakekua and at the Hilo Medical Center. The driving distance one way between these two hospitals is approximately 115 miles and takes about a three-hour drive. SAFE personnel have evolved into two groups, one on each side of the island. The forensic examiners that conduct examinations at Hilo Medical Center work primarily with East Hawaii Area I investigators, while the forensic examiners that conduct examinations at the Kona Hospital work primarily with West Hawaii Area II investigators. The SAFE Coordinator and Hawaii Police Department's East and West Hawaii Juvenile Aid Section (JAS) Lieutenants will work together to recruit new service providers, coordinate services and perform quality assurance activities for the entire island of Hawaii which will enhance crisis services to victims of sexual assault. Activities of the SAFE Program since its inception of eleven years ago, has had a significant impact on the County of Hawaii's ability to identify and respond to violent crimes against women. From January 1, 2005 to September 2005, 78 SAFE examinations were conducted for the County of Hawaii. Of the 78 SAFE exams conducted, 37 were females 18-yeazs- old and older. A1178 cases were reviewed by the Prosecutor's Office. Specialized training for SAFE personnel and police investigators is critical to ensure that best methods in evidence collection, investigative techniques, injury documentation and court presentation aze in practice. B. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES The goal of this project is to improve Hawaii County's ability to respond to violent sex crimes against women and improve investigations and forensic examination services provided to the victims of sexual assault island wide. PROJECT OBJECTNES: 1. To provide continuity of forensic services for victims of sexual assault in the County of Hawaii in East and West Hawaii through the continual training of new and current SAFE nurses and investigators. 2. To increase the number of certified SAFE personnel by three. 3.
