2) To develop a coordinated intervention strategy with prosecutors, schools, and community and social service agencies; and
3) To increase the effectiveness of domestic and juvenile criminal investigations through evidence collection, victim follow through and increasing investigative integrity through prosecutorial success by 20%.
