Mr. William Montgomery
Maricopa County
301 West Jefferson Street, 10th Floor
Phoenix, AZ 85003
Dear Mr. Montgomery:
Congratulations on your recent award. In establishing financial assistance programs, Congress linked the receipt of federal funding to
compliance with federal civil rights laws. The Office for Civil Rights (OCR), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), U.S. Department of Justice
(DOJ) is responsible for ensuring that recipients of financial assistance from the OJP, the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services
(COPS), and the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) comply with the applicable federal civil rights laws. We at the OCR are
available to help you and your organization meet the civil rights requirements that come with DOJ funding.
Ensuring Access to Federally Assisted Programs
Federal laws that apply to recipients of financial assistance from the DOJ prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin,
religion, sex, or disability in funded programs or activities, not only in employment but also in the delivery of services or benefits. A federal
law also prohibits recipients from discriminating on the basis of age in the delivery of services or benefits.
In March of 2013, President Obama signed the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013. The statute amends the Violence
Against Women Act of 1994 (VAWA) by including a nondiscrimination grant condition that prohibits discrimination based on actual or
perceived race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity. The new nondiscrimination grant
condition applies to certain programs funded after October 1, 2013. The OCR and the OVW have developed answers to some frequently
asked questions about this provision to assist recipients of VAWA funds to understand their obligations. The Frequently Asked Questions
are available at http://ojp.gov/about/ocr/vawafaqs.htm.
Enforcing Civil Rights Laws
All recipients of federal financial assistance, regardless of the particular funding source, the amount of the grant award, or the number of
employees in the workforce, are subject to prohibitions against unlawful discrimination. Accordingly, the OCR investigates recipients that
are the subject of discrimination complaints from both individuals and groups. In addition, based on regulatory criteria, the OCR selects a
number of recipients each year for compliance reviews, audits that require recipients to submit data showing that they are providing services
equitably to all segments of their service population and that their employment practices meet equal opportunity standards.

Providing Services to Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Individuals
In accordance with DOJ guidance pertaining to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000d, recipients of federal financial
assistance must take reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to their programs and activities for persons with limited English
proficiency (LEP). See U.S. Department of Justice, Guidance to Federal Financial Assistance Recipients Regarding Title VI Prohibition
Against National Origin Discrimination Affecting Limited English Proficient Persons, 67 Fed. Reg. 41,455 (2002). For more information
on the civil rights responsibilities that recipients have in providing language services to LEP individuals, please see the website
http://www.lep.gov.
Ensuring Equal Treatment for Faith-Based Organizations
The DOJ regulation, Equal Treatment for Faith-Based Organizations, 28 C.F.R. pt. 38, requires State Administering Agencies (SAAs) to
treat faith-based organizations the same as any other applicant or recipient. The regulation prohibits SAAs from making awards or grant
administration decisions on the basis of an organization's religious character or affiliation, religious name, or the religious composition of its
board of directors.
The regulation also prohibits faith-based organizations from using financial assistance from the DOJ to fund inherently (or explicitly)
religious activities. While faith-based organizations can engage in non-funded inherently religious activities, they must hold them
separately from the program funded by the DOJ, and recipients cannot compel beneficiaries to participate in them. The Equal Treatment
Regulation also makes clear that organizations participating in programs funded by the DOJ are not permitted to discriminate in the
provision of services on the basis of a beneficiary's religion. For more information on the regulation, please see the OCR's website at
http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/about/ocr/equal_fbo.htm.
SAAs and faith-based organizations should also note that the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act (Safe Streets Act) of 1968, as
amended, 42 U.S.C. § 3789d(c); the Victims of Crime Act of 1984, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 10604(e); the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency
Prevention Act of 1974, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 5672(b); and VAWA, Pub. L. No. 113-4, sec. 3(b)(4), 127 Stat. 54, 61-62 (to be codified
at 42 U.S.C. § 13925(b)(13)) contain prohibitions against discrimination on the basis of religion in employment. Despite these
nondiscrimination provisions, the DOJ has concluded that it may construe the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) on a case-by-
case basis to permit some faith-based organizations to receive DOJ funds while taking into account religion when hiring staff, even if the
statute that authorizes the funding program generally forbids recipients from considering religion in employment decisions.
Please consult with the OCR if you have any questions about the regulation or the application of RFRA to the statutes that prohibit
discrimination in employment.
Using Arrest and Conviction Records in Making Employment Decisions
The OCR issued an advisory document for recipients on the proper use of arrest and conviction records in making hiring decisions. See
Advisory for Recipients of Financial Assistance from the U.S. Department of Justice on the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission's Enforcement Guidance: Consideration of Arrest and Conviction Records in Employment Decisions Under Title VII of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964 (June 2013), available at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov//about/ocr/pdfs/UseofConviction_Advisory.pdf. Recipients
should be mindful that the misuse of arrest or conviction records to screen either applicants for employment or employees for retention or
promotion may have a disparate impact based on race or national origin, resulting in unlawful employment discrimination. In light of the
Advisory, recipients should consult local counsel in reviewing their employment practices. If warranted, recipients should also incorporate
an analysis of the use of arrest and conviction records in their Equal Employment Opportunity Plans (EEOPs) (see below).
Complying with the Safe Streets Act
An organization that is a recipient of financial assistance subject to the nondiscrimination provisions of the Safe Streets Act, must meet two
obligations: (1) complying with the federal regulation pertaining to the development of an EEOP (see 28 C.F.R. pt. 42, subpt. E) and (2)
submitting to the OCR findings of discrimination (see 28 C.F.R. §§ 42.204(c), .205(c)(5)).

Meeting the EEOP Requirement
If your organization has less than fifty employees or receives an award of less than $25,000 or is a nonprofit organization, a medical
institution, an educational institution, or an Indian tribe, then it is exempt from the EEOP requirement. To claim the exemption, your
organization must complete and submit Section A of the Certification Form, which is available online at
http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/about/ocr/pdfs/cert.pdf.
If your organization is a government agency or private business and receives an award of $25,000 or more, but less than $500,000, and has
fifty or more employees (counting both full- and part-time employees but excluding political appointees), then it has to prepare a
Utilization Report (formerly called an EEOP Short Form), but it does not have to submit the report to the OCR for review. Instead, your
organization has to maintain the Utilization Report on file and make it available for review on request. In addition, your organization has to
complete Section B of the Certification Form and return it to the OCR. The Certification Form is available at
http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/about/ocr/pdfs/cert.pdf.
If your organization is a government agency or private business and has received an award for $500,000 or more and has fifty or more
employees (counting both full- and part-time employees but excluding political appointees), then it has to prepare a Utilization Report
(formerly called an EEOP Short Form) and submit it to the OCR for review within sixty days from the date of this letter. For assistance in
developing a Utilization Report, please consult the OCR's website at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/about/ocr/eeop.htm. In addition, your
organization has to complete Section C of the Certification Form and return it to the OCR. The Certification Form is available at
http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/about/ocr/pdfs/cert.pdf.
To comply with the EEOP requirements, you may request technical assistance from an EEOP specialist at the OCR by telephone at (202)
307-0690, by TTY at (202) 307-2027, or by e-mail at EEOsubmisson@usdoj.gov.
Meeting the Requirement to Submit Findings of Discrimination
If in the three years prior to the date of the grant award, your organization has received an adverse finding of discrimination based on race,
color, national origin, religion, or sex, after a due-process hearing, from a state or federal court or from a state or federal administrative
agency, your organization must send a copy of the finding to the OCR.
Ensuring the Compliance of Subrecipients
SAAs must have standard assurances to notify subrecipients of their civil rights obligations, written procedures to address discrimination
complaints filed against subrecipients, methods to monitor subrecipients' compliance with civil rights requirements, and a program to train
subrecipients on applicable civil rights laws. In addition, SAAs must submit to the OCR every three years written Methods of
Administration (MOA) that summarize the policies and procedures that they have implemented to ensure the civil rights compliance of
subrecipients. For more information on the MOA requirement, see http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/funding/other_requirements.htm.
If the OCR can assist you in any way in fulfilling your organization's civil rights responsibilities as a recipient of federal financial
assistance, please contact us.

and supplemented by the Department of Justice (DOJ) in 2 C.F.R. Part 2800 (together, the "Part 200 Uniform
Requirements") apply to this 2016 award from the Office of Justice Programs (OJP).
The Part 200 Uniform Requirements were first adopted by DOJ on December 26, 2014. If this 2016 award
supplements funds previously awarded by OJP under the same award number (e.g., funds awarded in 2014 or earlier
years), the Part 200 Uniform Requirements apply with respect to all funds under that award number (regardless of the
award date, and regardless of whether derived from the initial award or a supplemental award) that are obligated on or
after the acceptance date of this 2016 award.
For more information and resources on the Part 200 Uniform Requirements as they relate to OJP awards and subawards
("subgrants"), see the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) website at
http://ojp.gov/funding/Part200UniformRequirements.htm.
In the event that an award-related question arises from documents or other materials prepared or distributed by OJP
that may appear to conflict with, or differ in some way from, the provisions of the Part 200 Uniform Requirements, the
recipient is to contact OJP promptly for clarification.
2. Compliance with DOJ Grants Financial Guide

15. SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT (See instruction on reverse)
The National Sexual Assault Kit Initiative (SAKI) provides funding to state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies, and prosecutor’s offices to support
multidisciplinary community response teams engaged in the comprehensive reform of jurisdictions’ approaches to sexual assault cases resulting from evidence
found in previously unsubmitted sexual assault kits (SAKs) - i.e. those SAKs that have never been submitted to a crime laboratory.
The goal of the SAKI is the creation of a coordinated community response that ensures just resolution to these cases whenever possible through a victim-centered
approach, as well as to build jurisdictions’ capacity to prevent the development of conditions that lead to high numbers of unsubmitted SAKs in the future. The
holistic program provides jurisdictions with resources to address their unsubmitted SAK issue, including support to inventory, test, and track SAKs; create and
report performance metrics; access necessary training to increase effectiveness in addressing the complex issues associated with these cases and engage in
multidisciplinary policy development, implementation, and coordination; and improve practices related to investigation, prosecution, and victim engagement and
OJP FORM 4000/2 (REV. 4-88)

support in connection with evidence and cases resulting from the testing process.
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 National SAKI Program will provide funds to recipients to implement or enhance the comprehensive BJA model to address the issues
that underline the problem of unsubmitted SAKs or to expand their existing SAKI project to include the collection of lawfully owed DNA samples from convicted
offenders.
Maricopa County, through the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office (MCAO), is funded a FY 2016 SAKI award under Purpose Area 1 to address unsubmitted
SAKs within the county through the implementation of the BJA model. Maricopa County has documented that there are over 4,000 unsubmitted sexual assault kits
(SAKs) in Maricopa County and has formed a multidisciplinary team (MDT) of stakeholders to examine the issues contributing to the collection of unsubmitted
SAKs and develop a victim-centered Sexual Assault Protocol that includes best practices for investigation, victim notification and prosecution. The Maricopa
County Attorney’s Office (MCAO) received a $1.9 million grant from the New York County District Attorney’s Office (DANY) in September 2015 to test 2,300
unsubmitted SAKs and report related program outcome measures (number of kits tested, number of CODIS hits, case disposition, victim and offender
demographics). Through the FY 2016 BJA SAKI Program, the recipient will expand MCAO’s strong start and build upon the infrastructure in place. Funds will be
used to hire a highly qualified site coordinator to work with the MDT and manage the administrative functions of the project; conduct a complete and
comprehensive inventory of unsubmitted SAK’s; test and analyze unsubmitted SAKs; conduct victim notification, investigation and prosecution of cases resulting
from CODIS hits; draft a Sex Assault Protocol and legislation to address SAK testing; and conduct multidisciplinary training.
