Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2014 Grants to Encourage Arrest Policies and Enforcement of Protection Orders Program is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). It is designed to strengthen how the justice system responds to sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking by promoting policies and practices that treat these offenses as serious criminal violations. A central theme of the program is coordination: OVW is looking to support approaches where law enforcement, prosecutors, courts (including juvenile courts), and community-based victim service organizations work together in a consistent, organized way to improve victim safety, increase offender accountability, and ensure protection orders are enforced effectively.

Eligible applicants included state governments, city or township governments, county governments, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments.
