The ultimate goal of the project is to provide a safe and nurturing site for children to visit without fear of revictimization. This project will enable the Family Visitation Centers to provide additional hours of security for supervised visitation and monitored exchange services in Okaloosa County. Service Provider: The Judge Ben Gordon, Jr. Family Visitation Center has been operating in Shalimar for sixteen years. The Center has conducted more than 9,000 monitored exchanges and scheduled over 15,500 supervised visits, without one serious incident. The Judge Ben Gordon, Jr. Family Visitation Center meets and exceeds the Minimum Standards outlined by the FCSC's Model Court Subcommittee and approved by the Florida Supreme Court. The Center is a member of the Supervised Visitation Network, with the Executive Director serving two terms on the board of directors. The Center is also active in the Florida Chapter of the Supervised Visitation Network, with the Executive Director serving two terms as president. Security: The Judge Ben Gordon, Jr. Family Visitation Center (JBGJFVC) will provide off-duty Officers onsite as needed. All domestic violence cases will be screened and thoroughly reviewed for potential danger. Target Group: This project serves all children exposed to family violence from infants to 18 years old and all victims of domestic violence without regard to age or gender. Project Activities: When the Court orders a non-custodial parent into supervised visitation, the Visitation Center provides a safe and nurturing environment for these visits to occur. An off duty law enforcement officer is on site when safety indicates and a trained monitor is in constant supervision of the children. All visitors are thoroughly advised of the Centers numerous rules and restrictions and must sign an agreement to abide by the rules before any visit is scheduled. Visits are scheduled for one and one-half hours and staggered arrival and departure times protect victims from a possible confrontation with perpetrators. The children visiting are unaware of all of our precautions and rules and generally enjoy their time with their non-custodial parent. In every case, the child is safe due to constant monitoring. Additional restrictive policies and rules are enforced for anyone accused of, or convicted of, sexual abuse. A Visitation Center also meets the needs of domestic violence victims referred by the Family Law Division of the Circuit Court and ordered to exchange the children with an abusive spouse for regular visitation. The Center provides for the emotional and physical safety of these children and abuse victims. This is accomplished by providing a secure, child-friendly setting and a strictly enforced staggered schedule of times for the delivery and pickup of children, The monitored exchanges have proven to meet a critical need in the Courts efforts to protect children from witnessing conflict which would often turn violent.
