ship Through Alliances (DELTA) Project. The program seeks to reduce the number of new cases of domestic violence in seven locally funded communities. Virginia is one of 14 states selected to implement the project through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The project is in its fifth year and brings together diverse members of local communities to plan, implement, and evaluate projects designed to prevent domestic violence before it starts. The Governor’s budget provides $288,000 in each year of the biennium for the project.
Protective Orders
Governor Kaine proposes amending §16.1-253.1 of the Code of Virginia to require court personnel to immediately enter protective orders in civil abuse cases into the Virginia State Police’s Virginia Crime Information Network (VCIN) using the Supreme Court of Virginia’s eMagistrate System, which automatically transfers the information. This will automatically transfer protective order information.
Currently, there is an added step where court staff prepares the protective order papers and sends the information to the local law enforcement agency to enter the information into the database. This delay in processing protective orders prohibits law enforcement from enforcing the issued protective order until it has been fully processed and threatens the safety of victims. In some instances, protective orders are not being entered into VCIN for an average of three and a half days after the protective order has been issued. This change will further protect victims and ensure that law enforcement officers have access to up-to-date information in the field.
