    • • Denise E. O’Donnell, Director of the Bureau of Justice Assistance, within the U.S. Department of Justice:
      "Victims of domestic violence have grave concerns about their personal safety immediately following service of an Order of Protection. New York’s Family Court Order of Protection Notification System serves as a model for other states to provide victims with more timely and accurate information when Orders of Protection are served so they, and the victim advocacy community, can plan for the safety needs of victims and families. BJA is proud to have funded this innovative effort by the New York State Sheriffs’ Association Institute Inc. and its partners, which will undoubtedly save lives and lead to safer communities."
    • • Yates County Sheriff Ron Spike, President of the NYS Sheriffs' Institute
      "It is well known that the accused have rights in the criminal justice system, but it is equally important to ensure that crime victims and survivors have the right to personal safety for themselves and their loved ones. That is why the Sheriffs’ Institute is committed to this project. If a victim registers with SAVIN-NY, they will receive timely notification when a Family Court order of protection is served. That notification gives them the power to act. By using technology to provide critical, empowering information, this program expands and protects the rights of the victim."
    • • Michael C. Green, Executive Deputy Commissioner, NYS Division of Criminal Justice Services
      "The SAVIN-NY program is a perfect example of how the state’s information technology systems can be leveraged by local law enforcement, so those agencies can better serve their communities. As a former prosecutor, I know that the period of time immediately following the service of orders of protection can be particularly dangerous for domestic violence victims. By automating notification of the service of those orders, the SAVIN-NY system provides victims with information essential to their ability to plan for their own safety, and hopefully, will prevent future violence."
