Consistent with the Government Performance and Results Act, the 2007 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. |

| Major Program Proposals: | 2006 Enacted |
2007 Request |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Tribal Law Enforcement | 14,808 | 31,065 |
| The 2007 budget proposes a total funding level of $31,065,000 for this program, compared to an enacted level of $14,808,000. Rather than requesting funding for several separate grant programs, the 2007 budget proposes to fund a consolidated OJP/COPS Tribal Law Enforcement Grant Program that will operate as a competitive grant program and provide flexibility to tribal communities to address their unique law enforcement needs. Funding may be used to hire tribal law enforcement, prosecutorial, or judicial officers under terms similar to those of the current COPS Tribal Law Enforcement grant. Tribal communities will need to plan for the financing of salaries after a three-year period of support. Funding may also be used for equipment to upgrade or improve law enforcement, prosecutorial, or judicial operations. In addition, funding may be used for basic, necessary repairs to existing facilities. Funding will not be used for new facilities or for major modifications to existing facilities, but can be used for modifications necessary to safeguard lives or protect the health and safety of building occupants. | ||
| 2. COPS Interoperability and Technology Grants | 138,117 | 0 |
| The program's 2006 appropriation is $138,117,000. Responsibility for interoperable technology and equipment in 2007 and beyond has been consolidated under the Department of Homeland Security. | ||
| 3. Methamphetamine Lab Cleanup Program | 62,778 | 40,084 |
| The proposed budget provides funding for DEA for methamphetamine lab cleanups. | ||
| 4. COPS Training and Technical Assistance Program/Community Policing Development | 3,949 | 3,997 |
| The budget proposes a total of $3,997,000 for this program to support the adoption and advancement of community policing practices through training, technical assistance, applied research, and evaluation initiatives that address the existing and emerging priorities of the law enforcement community. This compares to a 2006 enacted level of $3,949,000. | ||
| 5. Management and Administration | 0 | 26,950 |
| The 2007 budget proposes to provide new appropriations to fund the COPS Office's management and administration costs. The 2006 appropriation funds these costs through the use of $29 million in unobligated balances. | ||
| 6. Anti-Gang Initiative | 39,489 | 0 |
| The budget proposes to fund a comprehensive gangs initiative under the Justice Assistance appropriation. | ||
Program Realignment Consistent with the Government Performance and Results Act, the 2007 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 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. As part of its effort to realign resources to the DOJ Strategic Plan, the 2007 budget proposes to consolidate funding for programs administered by the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) into OJP's Justice Assistance account. |
