Attachment 1 <br />To this point, the RPD has not fully utilized the new NYFS program, and we discussed <br />ways to make sure it is an option for the City to utilize to assist victims. <br />It should be noted that since NYFS does not provide 24-hour services, there would be a gap in <br />being able to provide victims of DVSA immediate help if an incident occurs overnight. Having <br />victims able to access assistance 24-hours a day has been a big national priority for the past 25- <br />years. The City would still need to rely on using organizations such as Tubman to help provide <br />DVSA victims with services in the overnight hours. Having said that, the new NYFS program <br />is a valuable addition to the DVSA programs in Ramsey County and the City intends to utilize <br />NYFS when the circumstances are right. <br />Qbhf!28!pg!286 <br /> <br />
