    Abstract: The Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) administers 
the Demonstration Program on Trauma-Informed, Victim-Centered Training 
for Law Enforcement on Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual 
Assault, and Stalking (Abby Honold Program), which supports efforts to 
improve law enforcement's response to allegations of domestic violence, 
dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking from the time of a 
victim's initial report throughout the entire investigation, and to 
promote the efforts of law enforcement in improving the response to 
these crimes. The Abby Honold Program awards grants to law enforcement 
agencies to train officers to conduct trauma informed and victim-
centered investigations, with the goal of incorporating trauma-informed 
techniques designed to prevent re-traumatization of the victim and to 
increase communication between victims and law enforcement as well as 
stakeholders in a coordinated community response. This program's 
purpose is also to evaluate the effectiveness of the training. Under 
this program, the eligible entities are State, territorial, local, and/
or Tribal law enforcement agencies that investigate crimes involving 
sexual assault. OVW issued awards under this new grant program for the 
first time in Fiscal Year 2024, and OVW will use data from the proposed 
information collection to monitor grant-funded activities, 
qualitatively assess those activities and report to Congress on the 
effectiveness of grant-funded activities. Note that in Fiscal Year 
2025, the Abby Honold Program only supported projects addressing 
responses to allegations of sexual assault.
