Federal Grants to Encourage Arrest and Enforcement of Protection Orders Program (GTEAP)

The Governor’s Office is partnering with the Kansas Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence, Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center, Kansas County and District Attorney’s Association, the Kansas Attorney General's Office and the Kansas Office of Judicial Administration to establish a comprehensive training continuum regarding domestic violence for professionals in the criminal justice system with the Federal Grant to Encourage Arrest Policies and Enforcement of Protection Orders Program. The purpose of the grant project is to infuse the State of Kansas with a continuum of uniform domestic violence training for all professions of the criminal justice system serving offenders and victims from the time of a 911 call reporting an incident; through the investigation, arrest, prosecution, probation or parole and release of an offender; including emphasis on Protection From Abuse (PFA) and Protection From Stalking (PFS) orders.

As a result of this grant funding, the State of Kansas will achieve a multi-disciplinary and thorough approach to addressing domestic violence in the state. While various professions have been trained on the topic in previous years, there has not been an intensive coordinated approach to curriculum and policy development and training for all those involved in the criminal justice system.
