Committee approves DA grant to continue Victim/Witness Program
Summary
The Judicial & Public Safety Committee authorized acceptance of a New York State Office of Victim Services grant to continue the county Victim/Witness Program (resolution 1-26-JP-4). The motion passed unanimously.
Brittany Antonacci, Cayuga County District Attorney, told the committee the office would accept a grant from the New York State Office of Victim Services to continue the county’s Victim/Witness Program. The resolution authorizing acceptance is filed as 1-26-JP-4 and was approved on a motion by Legislator Aileen McNabb-Coleman, seconded by Legislator Tom Winslow; the committee voted "all in favor."
The program supports victims and witnesses in criminal cases; the committee record lists the grant source as the New York State Office of Victim Services. No dollar amount for the award was provided in the meeting record and is therefore not specified. The resolution’s approval means the DA’s office may proceed with grant acceptance and program continuation under established county procedures.
