As we pursued the funding, we brought a number of service providers to the table to discuss the needs. The support of the different agencies from around the county was very high.

This has really given everyone a better understanding of what each other's role is. It's helped foster a relationship between agencies.

The first report we get is not always the first time a crime has been committed. And there are a lot of (domestic violence) cases that never make it to our office for prosecution.

We're realizing already that we may have gone too small with our (Riverside) facility.

A great mind is just a great mind, and try not to worry too much about what package it's in.

We are considering making the service provider that is not meeting the agency's needs bear the cost. We need clear language in the service-level agreements, so providers and agency customers know what is expected of them.
