Introductions/Update:

• Hope House – Jamie S – new finance director @ HH

• Greenwood – new supervisor for CPS

• DA – Facility dog and new ADA – Deb O’Rourke

• Poarch – AB 214 – codification of practices relating to processing and handling of sexual assault kits

• Spoentgen - Discussion of potential AG SART goals for 2020 and possible recommendation of proactively calling advocacy prior to response or in-response to DV or SA calls.

  Discussion of impact of recent CVRB jurisdiction

• DA’s perspective – impact on potential information sharing with Hope House.

• Discussion of further applicability to law enforcement – DA’s office suggests that they think that it does. Suggests revision of the 72 hour no contact forms and SA worksheets to include opt-in language (or at least opt-out language). DA’s office opinion on this controlling on only their office.

• Suggestion to LE to discuss with management and each individual department’s legal counsel as to their future course of action.

Discussion of mission/objectives

• Looked at the version in records and it comports with the version that was approved by the group in October, 2019. No further discussion necessary.

Goals for 2020:

• Victim information sharing.

  • Hope House relied rather heavily on the DA’s office for referrals – the CVRB opinion is going to be far-reaching.

  • Need to try to get information sharing back up-and-running.

    • Updating SA worksheet to deal with this

• Continued work and roll-out of victim survey.

• Increasing local SANE and HH utilization issues by LE

• Continuation of Case Reviews

Next meeting and agenda items: 1/15/20 @ 11A – likely to be room 213 W. Square, but may be EMBS – agenda will be completed by LaBroscian (ideas to her)

Motion by Greenwood, second by Spoentgen to adjourn the meeting.  Motion carried at 12:02 PM with unanimous voice vote.

Respectfully submitted:

Rick Spoentgen
