Re: FY 2014 Victims' Rights Program Award
Dear Ms. Baier:
I ampleased to inform you that, pursuant to Arizona Revised Statutes § 41-191.06 and § 41-191.08, the
Attorney General's Office has made an award of $285,400 from the Victims' Rights Fund to the
Maricopa County Sheriffs Office for the period, July 1,2013 through June 30, 2014.
As you are aware, the purpose of the Victims' Rights Program (VRP) is to provide financial support to
city, county and state entities that are affected by Arizona Revised Statutes Title 13, Chapter 40, Crime
Victims' Rights and A.R.S. Title 8, Chapter 3, Article 7, Victims' Rights for Juvenile Offenses. In
particular, VRP monies are awarded to offset costs associated with performance of duties that are
mandated under victims' rights laws. I trust that this award to your agency will satisfy this purpose, and
that your efforts to include victims asan integral part of the justice process will continue to be both
successful and effective. Prior to preparation of the Funding Agreement for your award, a budget-
proposal form will be mailed to you for your completion and return.
Tnank you for the fine work you do every day on behalf of crime victims. Should you have any
questions or wish to discuss the budget for your award, please contact Jacob Schmitt, State Victims'
Rights Administrator at (602) 542-8451, or by email at Jacob.Schmittlalazag.gov.
