From SAVE:

Since 2016, we've been tracking the Dept. of Justice's support for victim-centered investigations. And we've sent them FOUR formal complaint letters:

  1. June 6, 2016 letter to the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services regarding its guidance, Identifying and Preventing Gender Bias in Law Enforcement Response to Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence: A Roundtable Discussion.
  2. February 1, 2018 letter to the Office of the Inspector General to investigate the DOJ’s abuse of taxpayer monies to support Start By Believing programs.
  3. April 3, 2019 letter to Attorney General William Barr, including Exhibits A to H, to investigate the DOJ’s failure to provide a substantive response to CPI’s February 1, 2018 complaint.
  4. May 20, 2019 letter to the Office for Victims of Crime regarding its sponsorship of an upcoming program on Law Enforcement Response: Approaching Your Work with a Trauma-Informed Lens

Any guesses how many substantive replies we've received? ZERO!

SO WHERE'S THE ACCOUNTABILITY, DOJ?

Today, let's all raise a little "heck" with Attorney General William Barr: https://www.justice.gov/doj/webform/your-message-department-justice

The SAVE Team
