Carson City, NV – Today, Nevada
Attorney General Aaron D. Ford announced the release of a Notice of Funding
Opportunity for Nevada law enforcement agencies, prosecutorial offices,
courts and non-profit organizations to apply for the
Services-Training-Officers-Prosecutor (STOP) and Sexual Assault Services
Program (SASP) grants.
The Office of the Nevada
Attorney General receives grant funding through the U.S. Department of Justice,
Office on Violence Against Women and awards funding to local, regional and
statewide programs providing victim services through non-profit service
providers, law enforcement, prosecution and courts. These programs serve to
enhance victim safety and hold offenders accountable for their crimes of
intimate partner violence, sexual assault, dating violence and stalking in
Nevada.
“Victims and survivors of
domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking are never to be
blamed for the crimes committed against them," said AG Ford. “We
must do everything we can to ensure that these victims have the help that that
need. Funding through these grants helps to support victims and survivors by
sending resources to programs who provide much-needed assistance.”
Agencies interested in applying
for funding must submit a completed application by Monday, April 18,
2022 by 5 p.m. For a copy of the solicitation and application packet or
for more information, please visit the grants page of our website here or contact the Office of the Attorney General’s Grants Manager,
Debbie Tanaka, at DTanaka@ag.nv.gov.
