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.
