Domestic Violence Tracking 
      System
In April, 1997, the City of 
      Mansfield received a U.S. Department of Justice Violence Against Women 
      grant in the amount of $30,000 to track and analyze the city's efforts to 
      prevent domestic violence. The grant is a partnership among the Mansfield 
      Police Department, the Richland County Domestic Violence Task Force, the 
      Domestic Violence Shelter and Ashland University. Under the grant, data 
      will be collected on every domestic violence police call. These calls will 
      be tracked through arrest versus non-arrest, successful prosecution versus 
      unsuccessful prosecution, offender treatment and repeat calls. The system 
      will pinpoint weaknesses and strengths within the domestic violence 
      prevention system and offer evidence for corrections.

    
The $30,000 grant helps to fund the work of two police personnel, four to six civilian
    employees and two volunteers and targets domestic violence 
      victims, offenders and their families.
