Santa Clara County Supervisors Tuesday allocated $200,000 to a new pilot program to help domestic violence victims whose partner tried to strangle them.

The county will partner with the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office and the Santa Clara Police Department to respond to victims who are 12 years old and older.

Law enforcement officers will ask victims if they consent to a hospital visit, and will be provided transportation to the county's Santa Clara Valley Medical Center in San Jose where they can undergo a medical forensic evaluation of their throats, neck, head and other injury areas.
