BACKGROUND: 

The Nevada Office of the Attorney General selected to fund the Justice Court, Las Vegas Township Domestic Violence Court Compliance Program with a pass-through grant from the Office on Violence Against Women.

The Violence Against Women Act grant award allows for the retention of one Court Compliance Officer and the enhancement of the current Domestic Violence Court Compliance Program by providing one additional full time Court Compliance Officer position. The one additional Court Compliance Officer would provide systematic supervision of domestic violence offenders' completion of court-ordered Batterer's Intervention treatment, their compliance with all other related court orders, and gathering of program data and statistics.
