About this grant

The Violence Against Women Tribal Special Assistant U.S. Attorney (SAUSA) Initiative (Tribal SAUSA Initiative) supports Tribes and United States Attorneys' Offices (USAOs) in their investigation and prosecution of VAWA crimes in Indian country. Tribes receive funds to work with their USAO partner to hire or retain a mutually agreed upon attorney to be cross-designated as both a SAUSA and a Tribal prosecutor. The goals of the initiative are to fill gaps in jurisdictional coverage; increase communication and coordination among Tribal, federal, and state law enforcement agencies; establish consistent relationships between federal prosecutors and Tribal community(ies); and improve the quality of investigation and prosecution of VAWA crimes.
