Consistent with the Government Performance and Results Act, the 2005 budget proposes to streamline the decision unit structure of DOJ components to align more closely with the mission and strategic objectives contained in the DOJ Strategic Plan (2003-2008). In addition, the budget has been realigned to reflect each component's outputs and full costs by major program activity, including the costs of management and administration, so that a more accurate picture of total activity costs is reflected in the budget. In this way, budget and performance are more closely linked, and provide a better basis on which to make budget decisions. Over time, agencies will be expected to identify effective outcome measures, monitor their progress, and accurately present the associated costs. | |||||||||||||

Counterterrorism Research and Development | 0 | 0 | 7,000 | ||||||||||
The overall goal of the Counterterrorism Research and Development Program is the development of practical tools and approaches to improve the ability of state and local first responders to detect and effectively respond to terrorist acts. This program, administered by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), relies on partnerships as a key part of its strategy. These partnerships enable NIJ both to identify key gaps and to leverage the investment of other agencies to address these gaps. This funding will allow NIJ to continue to work with other government agencies to speed the introduction of new technology that will help law enforcement combat terrorism. | |||||||||||||

6. Byrne Discretionary Grants | 0 | 0 | -163,225 | ||||||||||
For FY 2005, the budget does not include funds for Byrne Discretionary Grants. The original purpose of this program was to provide discretionary grant funding in support of a wide array of activities, especially those that demonstrate, test and evaluate innovations and best practices. However, for the past several years, the level of earmarking within this program has severly hampered OJP's ability to address new and innovative criminal justice initiatives. Traditionally, the discretionary grant program served as a vehicle to fund OJP and Administration initiatives in the area of state and local criminal justice improvements in topics ranging from gun safety, drug testing, alternatives to incarceration, and community-based justice. In the 2004 omnibus budget, 100 percent of this discretionary program is earmarked. | |||||||||||||
7. Bulletproof Vests | 0 | 0 | 104 | ||||||||||
The 2005 budget proposes a modest increase for this program, resulting in a total funding level of $25,123,000. The Bulletproof Vest Program helps states, units of local government, and tribal governments equip their law enforcement and corrections officers with armored vests. This small increase is attributable to program realignment proposed in 2005 where administrative funding has been reallocated to more appropriately reflect the true cost of each program. | |||||||||||||
8. Grants for Closed Circuit Television | 0 | 0 | 3 | ||||||||||
The 2005 budget proposes a modest increase for this program, resulting in a total funding level of $986,000. This program provides grants for equipment and personnel training for either closed-circuit televising or video taping of the testimony of children in criminal proceedings and for assisting courts, other systems agencies, and social service agencies to establish procedures related to the use of these options. This small increase is attributable to program realignment proposed in 2005 where administrative funding has been reallocated to more appropriately reflect the true cost of each program. | |||||||||||||
9. Justice Assistance Grant Program | 0 | 0 | 528,000 | ||||||||||
The 2005 budget proposes to fund this program at a total level of $528,000,000. The Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program represents the next generation of law enforcement grant programs. In developing this program, OJP combined the best aspects of the exisiting Byrne Formula and Local Law Enforcement Block Grant Programs in an effort to maximize flexibility for our nation's state and local governments. Under JAG state and local governments are empowered to target resources to the areas of greatest need, including: statewide training initiatives, technical assistance and training, and support for rural jurisdictions in the areas of law enforcement, prosecution and court programs, prevention programs, corrections programs, and treatment programs. | |||||||||||||
10. USA Freedom Corps | 0 | 0 | 16,000 | ||||||||||
The 2005 budget proposes to fund the USA Freedom Corps as a separate, standalone program. This program funds two separate initiatives: the Neighborhood Watch Program (NWP) and the Volunteers in Police Service Program (VIPS). The NWP provides a unique infrastructure in which community residents are provided with information that enables them to recognize signs of potential terrorist activities. The VIPS Program maximizes service and volunteer opportunities for civilians to collaborate with local police agencies. | |||||||||||||
11. ChildSafe Initiative | 0 | 0 | 28,939 | ||||||||||
The enhancement requested would provide a total of $33,750,000 to continue this initiative in 2005. The goal of Project ChildSafe is to distribute 65,000,000 gun locks throughout the Nation. This program distributes safety kits in partnership with local law enforcement agencies in communities across the country. Each kit contains printed materials on both safe gun storage and gun safety information, as well as a cable-style gun lock. This program is a key part of the Administration's Project Safe Neighborhoods Initiative. | |||||||||||||
12. Cyber Fraud and Computer Forensics Program | 0 | 0 | -4,339 | ||||||||||
The 2005 budget proposes total funding for this program of $4,846,000. This program is designed to provide a nationwide support system for law enforcement agencies involved in the prevention, investigation, and prosecution of economic and high-tech crimes and to support and partner with other appropriate entities in addressing homeland security initiatives, as they relate to these types of crimes. The funding requested in 2005 will be used to: (1) develop and deliver training, at little or no cost, on investigation techniques for cyber and financial crimes; (2) provide investigative support to financial investigations, primarily through financial and visual analysis and public records searchs, and (3) improve knowledge of economic and cyber crime issues through applied research. | |||||||||||||
13. Police Corps | 0 | 0 | 13,129 | ||||||||||
This enhancement will provide a total funding level of $29,565,000 for this program in 2005. The Police Corps program is designed to motivate highly qualified young people to serve cities and counties as police officers and sheriff's deputies. It does this by offering federal scholarships on a competitive basis to college students who agree to serve as police officers for at least four years. To be eligible for Police Corps' sponsored scholarships, a student must attent (or be about to attend) an accredited public or private four-year college or university. Participants receiving undergraduate degrees begin their work as police officers upon graduation of college and completion of an intensive, 16 to 24 week residential Police Corps training academy. The 2005 budget proposes to restructure this program from a state academy approach into a smaller number of regional academies that will provide training for the host and neighboring states. Of the total funding provided, $5,000,000 will be used for in-service training that uses a train-the-trainer approach to permit the spread of Police Corps training concepts to existing officers at departments around the country. | |||||||||||||
14. Project Reentry | 0 | 0 | 10,052 | ||||||||||
The proposed 2005 increase will result in a total funding level of $15,000,000 for this program, which will coordinate its efforts with a larger interagency initiative involving the collaboration of the Departments of Labor and Housing and Urban Development. The initiative is part of a four-year, $300,000,000 prisoner initiative to reduce recidivism rates and the societal costs of reincarceration by helping inmates return to live and work in American communities. The initiative harnesses the resources and experience of the faith-based and community organizations to achieve this goal. | |||||||||||||

The 2005 budget proposes a total of $45,000,000 for the Regional Information Sharing System (RISS) in 2005. The additional funding requested will be used to provide increased intelligence and forensic services for state and local law enforcement. RISS is comprised of six regional inelligence centers operating in mutually exclusive geographic regions that include all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. Territories. These regional centers facilitate and encourage information sharing and communications to support member agencies' investigative and prosecution efforts by providing state-of-the-art investigative support and training, analytical services, specialized equipment, secure information sharing technology, and secure encrypted e-mail and communication capabilities to over 6,000 municipal, county, state, and federal law enforcement agencies nationwide. | |||||||||||||
17. State and Local Gun Violence Assistance Program | 0 | 0 | 15,751 | ||||||||||
The enhancement requested would provide a total of $19,815,000 to continue this initiative in 2005.

Funding available under this program supports the strategic planning and accountability components of the PSN initiatve. It provides support for local prosecutors, investigators, supervision staff, analysts, and research partners working with designated PSN Task Forces in each of the 94 U.S. Attorney districts and supports programs that develop and promote community outreach efforts. Also, funding provided to targeted sites supports training, technical assistance, and workshops for members of local task forces. | |||||||||||||
18. State and Local Anti-Terrorism Training Program | 0 | 0 | 11,000 | ||||||||||
The proposed enhancement would provide a total of $11,000,000 for this initiative in 2005. The State and Local Terrorism Training (SLATT) Program improves domestic anti-terrorism preparedness by: (1) providing state and local law enforcement executives with a general awareness training of domestic terrorist and political extremist movements; (2) disseminating information relating to vital elements of law enforcement anti-terrorism preparedness and readiness, including planning; and (3) providing training on crisis and consequence management and incident command, including essential elements requisite to conducting criminal investigations and prosecutions of terrorist threats and incidents. | |||||||||||||

Program Realignment | |||||||||||||
Consistent with the Government Performance and Results Act, the 2005 budget proposes to streamline the decision unit structure of DOJ components to align more closely with the mission and strategic objectives contained in the DOJ Strategic Plan (FY 2001-2006). In addition, the budget has been realigned to reflect each component's outputs and full costs by major program activity, including the costs of management and administration, so that a more accurate picture of total activity costs is reflected in the budget. In this way, budget and performance are more closely linked, and provide a better basis on which to make budget decisions. Over time, agencies will be expected to identify effective outcome measures, monitor their progress, and accurately present the associated costs. | |||||||||||||
As part of its effort to realign resources to the DOJ Strategic Plan, the 2005 budget proposes to consolidate funding for OJP-administered programs funded under the Justice Assistance appropriation. In 2005, OJP has realigned its management and administration funding to reflect the full cost, both administrative and programmatic, of each OJP program. In order to achieve this, OJP's management and administration resources were redistributed among all OJP programs so that the budgeted administrative costs for each program were more closely aligned with actual administrative costs. The table below depicts the total funds for each program and the net program funds once administrative costs are subtracted. The net program fund amounts correspond to the amounts included for each program under the Justice Assistance appropriation language in the 2004 President's Budget Appendix. | |||||||||||||
