Grants to Encourage Arrest Policies and Enforcement of Protection Orders program is designed to encourage state and local governments, as well as state and local courts, to treat domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking as serious violations of criminal law requiring the coordinated involvement of the entire criminal justice system. This program challenges the entire community to listen, communicate, identify problems, and share ideas that will result in new responses to ensure victim safety and offender accountability.
