That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all

Compensation and Assistance Services State victim assistance and compensation programs are the lifeline services that help victims to heal in the aftermath of crime. Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) formula grants for crime victim compensation are awarded to every state, the District of Columbia, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, and Puerto Rico.
These grants supplement state funds that reimburse victims for out-of-pocket expenses resulting from the crime.
VOCA formula grants for crime victim assistance, awarded through subgrants to state agencies and local service providers, support direct services to crime victims in every state, the District of Columbia, and every territory. Through the VOCA Assistance Formula Grant Program, OVC supports thousands of victim assistance programs throughout the United States and its territories each year.

"Courage Garden Gazebo"
The loss of the gazebo, the cornerstone of the Courage Garden, is heartbreaking for those of us who love and appreciate the beauty and gifts of comfort, solitude and peace it provided.
And while we mourn this, we are so thankful that no one was hurt and that the fire didn't spread to the rest of the garden. Many thanks to Golden police and Fire and the citizens that reported the flames.


Jeffco law enforcement agencies donated the funds for the community to build the gazebo in his memory. Sgt. Mossbrucker’s father built the wooden benches inside.
