Message From the Director

The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), a component of the U.S. Department of Justice’s

Office of Justice Programs, was created to help America’s local, state, and tribal

governments reduce violence and restore security in communities and improve the

efficiency and effectiveness of our nation’s criminal justice system.

This Report to Congress describes the funding, technical assistance, and diverse resources

BJA provided in fiscal year 2004 to support jurisdictions in their efforts to reduce and

prevent crime. Equally important, this report provides real examples of jurisdictions and

organizations throughout the nation that benefited from BJA’s programs and made a

difference in their communities. From coast to coast, every state has experienced successes,

and BJA is fortunate to have the opportunity to share them. 

I am honored to serve as BJA’s Director and continue to encourage the building of "One

BJA," where our Policy, Programs, and Planning Offices collectively identify, design, and

deliver quality services based on performance and the needs of constituents. We will strive

to raise the bar to address today’s criminal justice issues—and prevent tomorrow’s.

I applaud the successes of the men and women in our communities who, through BJA

funding and collaborative efforts at the state and local levels, have demonstrated the

capacity to make a difference. These successes—many of which are presented in this

report—are nothing short of extraordinary.

An Overview of the Year

SECTION

ONE 

The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) was

established in 1984 to provide leadership and

services in grant administration and criminal

justice policy to support local, state, and tribal

justice strategies to achieve safe communities.

BJA’s overall goals are to reduce and prevent

crime, violence, and drug abuse and to

improve the functioning of the criminal justice

system. To achieve these goals, BJA programs

emphasize enhanced coordination and

cooperation of local, state, and federal efforts.

In fiscal year (FY) 2004, BJA continued to

support diverse programs that facilitated local

criminal justice strategies that bring safety to

our communities. BJA provided this support

to all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and

the 5 U.S. territories, as well as thousands of

local governments, organizations, institutions,

and community groups. BJA funding and

technical assistance aid this nation’s

communities to create an effective criminal

justice system.

In FY 2004, through the Edward Byrne

Memorial State and Local Law Enforcement

Assistance Program, BJA administered $500

million in formula grants and nearly $160

million in discretionary grants, which were

awarded as directed by Congress. Formula

funds were awarded to the states and

territories, which then made subawards to

state and local units of government and

nonprofit, community, and faith­based

organizations. Discretionary funds were

awarded directly to state and local

jurisdictions, American Indian tribes,

individual criminal justice agencies, and

nonprofit, community, and faith­based

organizations. Among its many initiatives,

BJA also administered $300 million in State

Criminal Alien Assistance Program grants;

$110 million for the Local Law Enforcement

Block Grant Program, which made awards to

nearly 1,600 jurisdictions; and $25 million for

the Bulletproof Vest Partnership Program, just

to name a few.

BJA continued to focus on its mission: to

promote the value of BJA as more than a

check­writing agency and to develop services

and products based on the identified needs of

local, state, and tribal communities. Based on

the feedback received from grantees through

their progress reports and personal accounts,

BJA is making a difference. BJA will continue

to support and promote the most promising

crime enforcement, reduction, and prevention

practices and provide updates to the field

through its web site, publications, and 

annual report.

SECTION

TWO 

Fiscal Year 2004 Programs

Preventing crime and making communities

safer requires the active involvement of

community members. The Bureau of Justice

Assistance (BJA) provides resources that

take responsibility for their families and

neighborhoods. BJA is committed to

providing communities with the information

and resources they need to help them work

enforcement to reduce and prevent crime.

Since September 11, 2001, local and state government

officials have increased opportunities for citizens to

become an integral part of protecting the nation and

supporting local first responders. Many of these

opportunities have developed as a result of USA

Freedom Corps, a national program that President

George W. Bush launched in January 2002 to promote

Citizen Corps (www.citizencorps.com), a vital

component of USA Freedom Corps, was created to

help coordinate community involvement and

volunteerism to make communities safer, stronger,

and better prepared to respond to emergency

situations. It provides opportunities for people to

participate in a range of measures to protect their

families, homes, and communities from the threats of

crime, terrorism, and various disasters. Citizen Corps

programs build on a community’s successful efforts

to prevent crime and respond to emergencies. Citizen

• The National Neighborhood Watch

Program (www.USAonwatch.org)

provides communities with a crime

prevention and terrorism awareness

infrastructure that brings together local

officials, law enforcement personnel,

and volunteers. The program more 

than doubled the number of registered

programs by December 2003, 1 month

ahead of President Bush’s deadline. To

accomplish this goal, BJA participated 

in the Citizen Corps Strategic Planning

Meeting with representatives from other

agencies in the U.S. Department of

Justice (DOJ), Federal Emergency

Management Agency, U.S. Department

of Health and Human Services, and the

USA Freedom Corps Office to set goals

and objectives and develop strategies 

to meet the President’s challenge. The

program’s web site, which allows

organizations to register 

as National Neighborhood

Watch Programs and

subscribe to Neighborhood

Watch’s electronic newsletter,

receives more than 700,000

hits per year. 

• From September 2003 through August

2004, Project ChildSafe’s 28 program

representatives distributed nearly 20

million safety kits to more than 14,000

communities in 50 states and 5 U.S.

territories.

• In addition to the gun lock and

educational materials contained in the

safety kit, millions of firearms owners

across the country received the Project

ChildSafe firearms safety message from

the press, radio, and television.

• Law enforcement

partners and Project

ChildSafe

representatives

across the country

report high levels of

public interest in the program. NSSF has

received numerous letters from law

enforcement partners that confirm

strong support for Project ChildSafe. The

program has responded to incidents of

local gun accidents involving children

by immediately distributing safety kits.

• Individuals also have expressed support

for the program through notes and

stories. A father in Georgia left a note on

a ChildSafe distribution truck thanking

Project ChildSafe

BJA continued to serve as an active partner in Project

Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a nationwide

commitment to reduce gun crime in America (see

page 11 for more information about this program).

One component of PSN, Project ChildSafe

(www.projectchildsafe.org), is a nationwide firearms

safety program that distributes gunlocks and teaches

firearms owners how to properly store and safely

handle their weapons. BJA continued its partnership

with the National Shooting Sports Foundation

(NSSF) (www.nssf.org), which administers the

program and works with state Governors and local

officials to raise awareness of firearms safety and

promote the availability of the safety kits.

• In FY 2004, ASTM International issued

a standard for gun locks, which the

distributed locks met.

4 BJA Annual Report: FY 2004
Gang Resistance Education 

And Training Program

Despite America’s low crime rates, DOJ recognizes

the threat that gangs pose to communities. Gang

violence has had a significant impact on crime and

safety in urban, suburban, and rural neighborhoods.

In some cities, like Los Angeles and Chicago, as

many as half of the homicides recorded in 2002 were

attributed to gangs. DOJ continues to address this

threat by implementing tough sanctions, working

closely with state and local law enforcement, and

supporting gang prevention strategies.

The Gang Resistance Education And Training

(G.R.E.A.T.) Program was developed for middle

school students to reduce their involvement in gangs

and delinquent behavior, teach them the

consequences of gang involvement, and help them

develop positive relationships with law enforcement.

These three objectives are addressed through a

curriculum taught in schools by uniformed law

enforcement officers. The G.R.E.A.T. Program

(www.great­online.org) consists of four components:

a 13­week middle school curriculum, an elementary

school curriculum, a summer program, and families

training.

Previously administered by DOJ’s Bureau of Alcohol,

Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the

G.R.E.A.T. Program—now administered by BJA—has

made more than 215 grants to local law enforcement

agencies to implement the program. BJA provides

funds to ATF through the program to keep a

dedicated and experienced agent involved in

G.R.E.A.T.’s implementation. BJA also works closely

with the Office of Justice Programs’ (OJP’s) Office of

Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, which

supports other gang elimination efforts using a

portion of G.R.E.A.T. funds.

• In FY 2004, G.R.E.A.T. grantees served

tens of thousands of youth in high­risk

rural, suburban, and urban communities

nationwide, helping them reduce their

crime victimization, increase their

negative views about gangs, and

improve their attitudes toward law

enforcement.

• According to a longitudinal evaluation

of G.R.E.A.T. conducted by OJP’s

National Institute of Justice, “several

significant results emerged in program

participants when they were compared

with nonparticipants 4 years after

program delivery.” They included a 

7 percent

reduction in

victimization, a 

5 percent increase

in negative views

about gangs, a 5 percent increase in

favorable attitudes toward the police, 

a 5 percent decrease in engaging in 

risk­seeking behaviors, and a 4 percent

increase in associating with peers

involved in positive activities.

• In FY 2004, the program fully

implemented the G.R.E.A.T. Families

Curriculum, enabling participating

youth, law enforcement instructors, and

educators to involve parents and other

family members in creating an antigang

environment in the home. This homebased support was essential in helping

youth avoid the peer pressure of gangs,

and it has now become a solid

component of the program.

• The Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Police

Department’s G.R.E.A.T. Program used

FY 2004 grant funds to deliver G.R.E.A.T.

in nine schools adjacent to City Housing

Authority neighborhoods. More than

3,000 students participated in the

program during the 2003–04 school year.

• The Boston, Massachusetts Police

Department’s G.R.E.A.T. Program

reached more than 5,000 students in

National Night Out

BJA continued to fund National Night Out (NNO)

(www.natw.org/nno), an initiative developed to

coordinate comprehensive neighborhoodwide

strategies that combat crime, violence, and drug

abuse. Administered by the National Association of

Town Watch, NNO is a grassroots initiative that

enhances, supports, and promotes major crimereduction and drug­control strategies in more than

10,000 communities in U.S. states, territories, and

military bases worldwide.

6 BJA Annual Report: FY 2004
• On August 3, 2004, 10 law enforcement

agencies, 4 government offices, 1

university, 1 community college, 

and 39,700 citizens joined forces in

Houston/Harris County, Texas for the

21st Annual National Night Out. More

than 800 block parties and events took

place throughout the Houston/Harris

County area. The events ranged from

neighborhood parades to concerts to

unique events such as student­led 

rallies to promote safety on university

campuses. Other activities included

police car displays, picnics, potluck

dinners, and horseback rides.

• On August 3, 2004, Minneapolis,

Minnesota residents came out in force to

support National Night Out—one of this

city’s most popular events. More than

38,000 people attended and 1,500 blocks

were involved in the events to celebrate

the campaign. Minneapolis’ strong

network of Neighborhood Watch block

clubs clearly energized the event.

Activities included face painting, food

drives, music, cookouts, and parades. A

precinct coordinator said, “The best part

was meeting neighbors from two blocks

away. I invited them because I knew

they didn’t have a block leader, and I 

was surprised at how many showed up!”

Citywide coordinator John Bauman said,

“National Night Out is a great summer

evening event that creates a more livable

neighborhood and is an organizing

point for future block club activities.”

• More than 8,000 residents of Savannah

and Chatham County, Georgia

participated in National Night Out.

“[NNO] gives residents a chance to 

get out and mingle,” said Richard

Wallace, President of the Ardsley Park

Neighborhood Association. “Knowing

your neighbors helps

you know who should

be running around the

neighborhood and also

helps because people

are more likely to look

out for someone they

know.” After a large

gathering at a local

park, residents returned

to their neighborhoods

for block parties and

cookouts.

Edward Byrne Memorial State 

and Local Law Enforcement 

Assistance Program

Grants provided through the Edward Byrne

Memorial State and Local Law Enforcement

Assistance (Byrne) Program fund a wide range of

crime prevention programs and projects at the local

level. These programs and projects seek to:

• Be proactive in preventing crimes against the

community.

• Build collaborative relationships among business

and community organizations, education

systems, law enforcement, and the general public.

• Empower citizens to protect themselves and their

property.

Using these goals as the foundation for their crime

prevention programs, states experienced many

successes in FY 2004.

“Now, more than ever, we need to

realize that we are neighbors.

• Northern Mariana Islands: Training

Efforts, Department of Public Safety’s

Division of Fire. In the past, insufficient

training and equipment made it difficult

for the Department of Public Safety’s

Division of Fire to solve arson cases. To

resolve the problem, the department

sent all its firefighters to 80 hours of

training in arson investigation at the

National Fire Academy in Emmitsburg,

Maryland; purchased computers and

operational equipment; and closed out

43 of the 72 reported arson cases in just

1 year’s time.

• Oregon: Functional Family Therapy

(FFT) Program, Clackamas County

Juvenile Department. The Clackamas

County program provides family

counseling to at­risk youth to reduce

juvenile crime through the use of FFT.

The program aims to improve family

life, reduce juvenile arrest and

recidivism rates, avoid placement with

the Oregon Youth Authority (OYA), and

reduce juvenile violence. 

Over a 12­week period, therapists 

train each family in communication,

parenting, and conflict management; if a

family’s treatment goals are not met

within the 12 weeks, treatment can be

extended. The program has significantly

improved family life: 89 percent of

families demonstrated improved

problem­solving skills, and 94 percent

showed better overall functioning. The

program also reduced juvenile crime

and violence. In the 12 months following

participation, no youth without a prior

offense reoffended, no youth with a

prior offense was referred to the juvenile

justice system for a person­to­person

crime, and only 8 percent of program

participants were committed to OYA

and placed out of the home.

• Puerto Rico: Community and

Neighborhood Assistance to Prevent

and Control Crime. Community and

Neighborhood Assistance is a

cooperative effort among the

commonwealth, local nonprofit

organizations, and federal law

enforcement agencies. Twenty­three

projects were funded in 10

municipalities, 8 nonprofit

organizations, and 5 state agencies. The

program has established prevention

programs in urban and rural areas,

enabled community organizations to

become more responsible for

neighborhood safety, offered educational

programs to strengthen the skills of high

school dropouts and high­risk youth,

established recreational programs that

seek to reduce youth drug use in crimeridden communities, and put more law

enforcement officers on the streets to

discourage crime and promote

community safety.

• South Carolina: Violent Crime

Reduction Initiative. In 2000, South

Carolina was second in the nation 

in violent crime per capita, and

Orangeburg County was first in the 

state with a violent crime rate that was

BJA Annual Report: FY 2004 9
double the statewide average and triple

the national average. To address this

problem, a Byrne subgrant funded a

strategic plan for the South Carolina

Department of Public Safety to identify

the causes of that high crime rate and

target potential solutions to the county’s

violent crime. 

Several significant achievements

resulted from the Byrne­funded project.

The court system was reformed,

resulting in fewer delays and more

efficient administration of justice. For

example, the overall clearance rate 

for Part I violent crimes increased 53

percent, for aggravated assault 64

percent, and for rape 133 percent. Law

enforcement’s increased effectiveness

also was observed for less serious

offenses such as simple assault, for

which the clearance rate increased 50

percent. The most notable achievement,

however, was that Orangeburg County

became a much safer place to live and

work. Rapes decreased by 50 percent,

robberies decreased by 21 percent, and

aggravated assaults decreased by 25

percent.

On the national level, Byrne funding supports

the Simon Wiesenthal Center, which enhances

criminal justice professionals’ capacity to

proactively prevent the spread of hate crimes

and to identify and address potential terrorist

threats. Program goals focus on helping

criminal justice professionals understand the

unique qualities of hate and terrorist crimes

and why they require different strategic

responses.

• The center’s Tools for Tolerance®

training program was developed to meet

these goals. Through June 2004, Tools for

Law Enforcement

Law enforcement officers are the nation’s first

line of defense against crime, and they must

respond to constantly changing challenges

with limited resources. BJA is committed to

providing law enforcement officers with the

resources and training they need to meet

the needs of their communities and to

encouraging collaborative efforts between

law enforcement officers and the communities

they serve.

Project Safe Neighborhoods

To help combat gun crime, in 2001 President Bush

created one of his foremost criminal justice initiatives,

an aggressive, comprehensive gun crime reduction

strategy called Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN). By

linking federal, state, and local law enforcement

officers, prosecutors, and community leaders, PSN

provides a multifaceted approach to preventing gun

crime and enforcing gun laws. PSN represents a

nationwide commitment to reduce gun crime by

providing local programs with the tools and

resources they need to succeed.

PSN is committed to facilitating partnerships; using

research to guide local strategies and measure their

impact; providing comprehensive training;

communicating the initiative’s priorities, message,

and results to the community and media; and

building a strong and lasting coalition with citizens

for long­term change. BJA administers the PSN grant

funds that are allocated to the 94 U.S. Attorneys’

Offices.

• More than 11,000 PSN task force

members have received training as part

of the comprehensive training and

technical assistance (TA) program

provided by BJA and PSN partners.

Local PSN programs have organized

training for thousands more. In FY 2004,

PSN TA providers offered more than 75

trainings and onsite technical assistance,

including 2 strategic planning sessions

for the task forces, 22 onsite community

engagement trainings, and more than 35

law enforcement trainings.

• In FY 2004, BJA cosponsored the Second

National Conference on Project Safe

Neighborhoods, which was held in

Kansas City,

Missouri and

attended by

more than

1,400 federal,

state, tribal, and local prosecutors, law

enforcement officials, community

leaders, and PSN team members from

America's Network Against Gun Violence

across the nation. Then­U.S. Attorney

General John Ashcroft and thenAssistant Attorney General Deborah J.

Daniels addressed the attendees. The

conference provided participants the

opportunity to discuss efforts to reduce

and prosecute gun crime, share strategies

and program successes, and address

future goals.

• To support the increased prosecution

effort promoted by PSN, BJA awarded

funds to the National District Attorneys

Association’s American Prosecutors

Research Institute (APRI) to design and

continue efforts in

the areas of training,

TA, and information

collection and

dissemination. In

FYs 2002 and 2003,

APRI offered two

courses to the field:

“Fundamentals

of Firearms

Prosecution 

Training” and

“Hitting the Mark.”

A supervising

deputy district attorney in Kern County,

California attended the trainings in 2002

and said he found APRI’s trainings and

publications extremely valuable—even

with his 18 years of experience as a

prosecutor. Later, the Kern County

District Attorney’s Office used the

information from the trainings and the

resources of their U.S. Attorney’s Office

and DOJ’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,

Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to

develop an aggressive interagency

approach to firearms prosecution. With

PSN grant funds, the office subsequently

developed a firearms prosecution unit

and now specializes in prosecuting gun

violence cases for neighboring agencies.

“In addition to prosecuting gun

crime in order to take those who

commit it off the streets, Project

Safe Neighborhoods is working 

to prevent gun crime by reaching

potential perpetrators before 

it’s too late.”

Edward Byrne Memorial State 

and Local Law Enforcement 

Assistance Program

A formula grant program, the Byrne Program is a

partnership among federal, state, tribal, and local

governments dedicated to creating safer communities.

BJA is authorized to award grants to states for use by

states and units of local government to improve the

functioning of the criminal justice system—with an

emphasis on violent crime and serious offenders—

and enforce state and local laws that establish

offenses similar to those in the federal Controlled

Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 802(6) et seq.). 

Grants may be used to provide personnel,

equipment, training, technical assistance, and

information systems for more widespread

apprehension, prosecution, adjudication, detention,

and rehabilitation of offenders who violate such state

and local laws. Grants also may be used to provide

noncompensation assistance to victims of these

offenders. Twenty­nine legislatively authorized

purpose areas establish the nature and scope of

programs and projects funded under Byrne. In FY

2004, BJA administered nearly $475 million in Byrne

funding, which was awarded to the 56 states and

territories. To address the Byrne Program’s goals,

states have historically used their formula funds to

support multijurisdictional task forces. Although the

majority of task forces address drug interdiction,

some task forces look for fugitives, address whitecollar crime, and provide training to law enforcement

officials on drug and public safety issues. 

• Alabama: Multijurisdictional Violent

Crime (MVC) Task Forces. Alabama’s

MVC Task Forces worked hard to

reduce the availability of drugs and

control the violence associated with

drug use and distribution. In FY 2004,

the project encouraged cooperation

among law enforcement agencies in

multijurisdictional cases; destroyed

more than 370 methamphetamine

laboratories; and seized nearly 15,000

grams of methamphetamine, more than

85,000 grams of cocaine, and more than

2.7 million grams of marijuana.

Multijurisdictional Task Forces At a Glance

Multijurisdictional task forces (MJTFs) reduce the impact of drug and firearms traffickers, gangs, pharmaceutical

diversion, organized crime, and terrorist activity on communities throughout the nation. In FY 2004, more than $190

million in Byrne grant funds was used to support MJTFs. Currently, more than 400 multijurisdictional, Byrne­funded

task forces operate nationwide. Based on the 2004 annual reports submitted by the 56 State Administering Agencies,

experience. This approach maximizes

limited narcotics enforcement resources,

especially in sparsely populated areas 

of the state. In FY 2004, the task forces

made 720 arrests (a 36 percent increase

from FY 2002), seized 179 firearms, and

seized more than $471,000 in cash.

• North Dakota: Multijurisdictional Task

Force (MJTF). Within the reporting

period, North Dakota’s MJTF made

more than 350 presentations to parents,

youth, community members, emergency

responders, retailers, and farmers about

the signs of methamphetamine abuse

and manufacturing. As a result,

community members and businesses

have been more active in contacting law

enforcement officials about suspicious

activities. In fact, the public’s

involvement has helped increase 

the number of methamphetamine

laboratories destroyed from 17 in 

1999 to nearly 300 in 2004.

• Rhode Island: Multijurisdictional Task

Force, Project X­Filer. A well­known

drug dealer trafficked cocaine in the

towns of West Warwick and Coventry

for 20 years. The dealer drove

extravagant cars, lived in low­income

housing, and surrounded himself with

people he could trust, making it difficult

for police to infiltrate his network.

Recognizing the severity of this crime

problem, the Rhode Island MJTF gained

the support of police departments

affected by the drug dealer and secured

funding from the state to undertake

Operation X­Filer. Over the past 2 years,

the operation employed officer overtime,

surveillance, informants, and digital

wiretaps that led to the arrests of the

drug dealer and two of the dealer’s

suppliers. Operation X­Filer resulted in

46 arrests in the Kent County area—one

of the largest drug busts in the county’s

history.

• Virgin Islands: Safe Street Task Force.

The Virgin Islands Safe Street Task Force

employs state­of­the­art surveillance,

source information, and crime analysis

methods in long­term investigations 

of violent suspects. The task force

measures its programs by the number of

convictions it obtains, not the number 

of suspects it arrests. In FY 2004, the task

force cleared 40 cases, which resulted in

a 15 percent reduction in violent crime. 

• West Virginia: Drug and Violent Crime

Control Multijurisdictional Task

Forces. White­collar crime, organized

crime such as gambling and

prostitution, and public corruption 

and fraud significantly disrupt the

administration of West Virginia

government. Investigating these

complex crimes often requires

sophisticated techniques, skills, and

equipment at a high cost to taxpayers.

MJTFs in West Virginia coordinate 

16 local forces, which increases the

efficiency of efforts to apprehend whitecollar criminals. In FY 2004, the task

forces arrested 1,657 suspects and

obtained 420 convictions; confiscated

$898,070 in assets, 85 percent of which

were reinvested in the program; and

seized 44,277 grams of marijuana and

110 grams of methamphetamine. 

14 BJA Annual Report: FY 2004
Local Law Enforcement 

Block Grant Program

BJA first awarded grants for the Local Law

Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG) Program in 1996

to units of local government to support projects that

reduced crime and improved public safety. From the

start, the LLEBG Program has emphasized local

decisionmaking and encouraged communities to

design their own responses to local crime and drug

programs.

LLEBG funds must be spent in accordance with

seven purpose areas. The funds are allocated by a

formula based on Part I violent crimes—murder,

rape, robbery, and aggravated assault—as reported in

the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI’s) Uniform

Crime Reports. The program sets a minimum

threshold of $10,000 for direct funding from BJA. 

In FY 2004, nearly 1,600 awards totaling more than

$110 million were made. States that participated in

this program were able to accomplish a wide range

of goals and experience successes at the local level. 

• California: Air Operations of Police

and Sheriff’s Departments. In FY 2004 a

major Southern California law

enforcement agency needed to replace

its six helicopter engines. Due to the 

fact that each engine cost more than

$650,000, the agency was not able to

afford even one replacement, let alone

six. Fortunately, the agency contacted

the National Guard, which runs the 1033

Excess Property Program through an

LLEBG grant. The National Guard

found a cache of 26 used engines,

enough for the agency to build several

flyable engines. Agency staff took

flatbed trucks across the country to

retrieve the engines, which were given

to them at no cost. The approximate

savings to the agency was $16.9 million.

• Connecticut: Installation of Security

Cameras in Prisons. The Town of

Naugatuck received $8,000 in LLEBG

funding to install cameras in its prison

cell blocks to record inmate and law

enforcement activity in an effort to

prevent unfounded lawsuits alleging

inmate harassment and abuse. Shortly

after the equipment was installed, a

prisoner was taken into custody. He

soon began banging his head into the

bars, to the point of unconsciousness.

At first glance, the news that an inmate

was found unconscious was of concern

to the mayor, press, and citizens of

Naugatuck. However, upon review of

the tape, it was shown that the prisoner

had caused his own injury, clearing law

enforcement personnel of wrongdoing.

• New Jersey: Statewide Intelligence

Management System. LLEBG funds

have assisted New Jersey in creating 

the Statewide Intelligence Management

System (SIMS), part of the state’s

information­based policing efforts.

When fully operational, the system will

enable every law enforcement agency in

the state to share information and

connect even the smallest detail from

different crimes. Numerous crimes

already have been solved through SIMS

since it became operational in January

2003. For example, one crime connected

a Plainfield, New Jersey heroin

distribution ring to a known

international terrorist organization.

• Ohio: Pike County Sheriff’s Office

Ohio Incident­Based Reporting System

(OIBRS) Project. Using LLEBG funding,

the Pike County Sheriff’s Office

purchased new desktop and laptop

computers, allowing the office to

effectively collect

OIBRS data and

more than 11,500 jurisdictions have participated, with

$118 million in federal dollars supporting the

purchase of an estimated 450,000 vests. The program

pays up to 50 percent of the cost of each vest

purchased by applicants. Eligible law enforcement

officers include police officers, sheriffs’ deputies,

correctional officers, parole and probation agents,

prosecutors, and judicial officials. Applicants may

Identity Theft

Identity theft is a serious crime, and people whose

identities have been stolen can spend months or

years trying to reverse actions that damaged their

good name and credit record. In the meantime,

victims may lose job opportunities; be refused

education, housing, or car loans; or even be arrested

for crimes they did not commit.

Because of its major impact on law enforcement and

victims, the identity theft initiative has brought

several DOJ components together for the Attorney

General’s Advisory Committee. This cross­cutting

committee includes DOJ’s Criminal Division, Office

of Justice Programs, and Office of Community

Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office); the FBI;

and many other federal agencies. The law

enforcement and policy subcommittee helps to

define future identity theft initiatives for federal,

state, tribal, and local law enforcement and

contributes to policymaking for identity theft

nationwide. As a result, the collaboration of these

agencies is a tremendous success for law enforcement

and citizens alike.

• BJA conducted two regional identity

theft trainings through NCPC, including

a panel discussion for local law

enforcement and crime prevention staff

training. The training also involved

sharing the latest technological advances

and investigational techniques with

participants.

• BJA took the lead in conducting focus

groups within OJP on identity theft and

coordinating initiatives (e.g., evaluation,

summits, Federal Trade Commission

coordination). These focus groups have

fostered outside working groups with

the COPS Office and at regional

trainings, increasing interagency

cooperation.

• In December 2003, the Lincolnshire,

Illinois Police Department reported that

a suspect was “thrown off balance with

the volume of discrediting information”

provided directly through NW3C, which

led to an arrest warrant for an $80,000

theft by deception and forgery. Using

the investigative techniques taught in

the NW3C identity theft/fraud classes,

the police department was better

equipped to respond to the crime. 

18 BJA Annual Report: FY 2004
National Center for 

Rural Law Enforcement

One of the primary obstacles that rural law

enforcement managers face is the lack of

management training specific to rural law

enforcement needs. Training programs often

emphasize techniques to solve crime problems that

are common in larger cities. However, crime is

becoming increasingly prevalent in rural

communities, and training programs tailored for

urban police departments are less effective in a rural

environment.

To fulfill this need, the National Center for Rural Law

Enforcement (NCRLE) (www.ncrle.net), a division of

the Criminal Justice Institute at the University of

Arkansas, developed the Rural Executive

Management Institute (REMI), an intensive 3–5 day

course for rural law enforcement managers. REMI is

presented throughout the country, making training

accessible and affordable to smaller departments.

Course topics include grant writing and managing

budgets, leading small departments, and recruitment

and retention.

• BJA awarded NCRLE a grant to

continue working with the Navajo

Nation, Hopi Tribe, and Pueblo of Zuni

on the Inter­Tribal Integrated Justice

Pilot Project. The funding supports the

creation of tribal data centers to allow

the three tribes to share criminal justice

information. While each tribe will house

its own data center that will be the

central point for the collection and

retrieval of justice data, each center will

be linked using DOJ’s Global Justice

eXtensible Markup Language (XML)

standards (see page 47 for more

information about XML standards) for

an instant and easy data exchange (e.g.,

protection orders, missing children

information) among the tribes. 

To achieve this goal, the tribes used

grant dollars to install computer servers,

work stations, and network connections.

More than 1,100 tribal justice personnel

can now access the Internet, receive 

e­mail, and retrieve information from

Internet­based databases. NCRLE also

provided comprehensive computer

training to 90 tribal employees and

trained 20 computer support personnel.

• NCRLE also received a grant from BJA

to provide technical information and

materials to tribal justice agencies,

empowering them to better assess, plan,

and implement information technology

and information­sharing systems within

their agencies. NCRLE developed

numerous technical self­assessment tools

and templates to address the proper

technical assessment protocols; analysis

of computer hardware, software, and

network resources; vendor trends; and

current technologies. 

The tools are provided to tribal agencies

nationwide via the Tribal Justice

Information Sharing System (TJISS) web

site (www.tjiss.net), created and hosted

by NCRLE, as well as by direct and

electronic mail. Through FY 2004, TJISS

had nearly 2,700 page views and 430

visitors—including tribal representatives

from 30 states and 50 cities—since it

went live in March 2004. The web site

also houses the NCRLE­developed 

TJISS Self­Assessment Questionnaire, 

a comprehensive tool that helps

organizations better assess their current

computer technology strengths and

weaknesses. More than 75 visitors have

downloaded the questionnaire.

International Association of 

Chiefs of Police

With nearly 20,000 members, the International

Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) is the world’s

oldest and largest nonprofit membership

organization of police executives. IACP’s leadership

includes chief executives of local, state, federal, and

international agencies of all sizes. BJA funded many

of IACP’s key programs.

• In 1987, IACP entered into a cooperative

agreement with BJA to establish the

National Law Enforcement Policy

Center. The center is designed to help

law enforcement agencies evaluate and

update policies, procedures, and rules.

Each published policy is accompanied

by a comprehensive discussion paper

that integrates current research, legal

analysis, and contemporary practices

identified by nationally recognized

police professionals.

In Iowa, for example, the cities of

Bettendorf and Davenport, Scott County,

and MEDIC Emergency Services

requested a planning retreat to consider

whether to consolidate their 911

services. IACP helped lead the

discussions in which members explored

how to collaborate and address staffing,

operations, training, and career

opportunities.

• Many smaller police agencies are unable

to access the network of national

information and resources because of

their remote locations and limited

resources and training. In 1997, BJA

awarded funding to IACP to provide

technical assistance and outreach to 

the more than 14,000 police agencies

throughout the nation that employ

fewer than 25 officers and serve

communities with populations of fewer

than 25,000 people, a group comprising

87 percent of all U.S. police departments. 

This effort produced a number of

workshops that address the ongoing

challenge of officer recruitment and

retention for smaller agencies. One

workshop, Mentoring for Retention,

provided agencies with a design for

implementing a mentoring program for

new recruits and incumbent officers. In

FY 2004, the workshop was presented to

the Lafayette Police Department (LPD)

in Colorado. The department’s chief of

police reported that as a result of lessons

learned during the workshop, LPD is in

the process of formalizing its own

mentoring program and making it a

model for other police departments

throughout Colorado.

Public Safety Officers’ 

Benefits Program

The Public Safety Officers’ Benefits (PSOB) Program

is a partnership effort of DOJ; local, state, and federal

public safety agencies; and national organizations to

provide benefits to the spouses, children, and other

survivors of public safety officers who have died or

been permanently and totally disabled in the line of

duty. Established in 1976, the PSOB Program was

intended to assist in the recruitment and retention of

law enforcement officers and firefighters; reinforce

the value communities place on the contributions of

public safety officers and their efforts; and offer

peace of mind to men and women seeking careers in

public safety.

The PSOB Program provides death and disability

benefits and education assistance to those eligible for

the program. BJA’s PSOB Office and OJP are

responsible for implementing the PSOB Program. In

addition to reviewing and processing hundreds of

cases each year, the PSOB Office works with national

law enforcement and first responder groups to

educate public safety agencies regarding the

initiative and offer support to families and colleagues

of fallen law enforcement officers, firefighters, and

first responders.

BJA Annual Report: FY 2004 21
• To demonstrate DOJ’s commitment to

providing public safety officers with the

most accurate and timely PSOB services

possible, in May 2004 then­U.S. Attorney

General John Ashcroft issued a directive

requiring BJA to make a determination

on all filed PSOB claims within 90 days

of receiving all necessary information

and identifying all potential

beneficiaries.

• In FY 2004, the PSOB Program

provided $40 million to survivors of

approximately 160 law enforcement

officers, firefighters, and other first

responders who died of injuries

sustained in the line of duty. Also in 

FY 2004, approximately $2 million was

awarded to 12 public safety officers who

were permanently and totally disabled

as a result of line­of­duty injuries, and

the Public Safety Officers’ Educational

Assistance Program provided $760,000

in financial assistance to 260 children

and spouses of officers killed in the line

of duty.

• A database of active PSOB cases was

created to capture and track critical

details on claims, allowing benefits

representatives to instantly search

records and respond to inquiries.

This database not only provides

better service to law enforcement and

survivors today, but also has become the

foundation for a new web­based PSOB

claims system to be built in 2005. 

• To thoroughly review claims with the

consideration they deserve, many PSOB

cases require an independent physician

review. In response to this need, BJA

retained the services of a cadre of

medical specialists, increasing the

availability of qualified consultants—

and decreasing the time it takes for case

reviews to occur. 

• Law enforcement agencies require

accurate and consistent updates on

PSOB benefits. The PSOB web site

(www.ojp.usdoj.gov/BJA/grant/

psob/psob_main.html) was completely

updated to share practical details of 

the program. An easy­to­use PSOB

information card also was developed

and distributed by BJA to agencies and

organizations throughout the country. 

• The PSOB Program partners with the

National Fallen Firefighters Foundation

and Concerns of Police Survivors to seek

ways to streamline public safety claims

for agencies and families. With input from

these groups, as well as others such as the

Fraternal Order

of Police Grand

Lodge,

International

Association of

Chiefs of

Police, and the

National Sheriffs’ Association, forms 

were revised to help lessen the reporting

burden on agencies and families initiating

PSOB claims.

State and Local Anti­Terrorism 

Training Program

Funded by BJA and coordinated by the Institute for

Intergovernmental Research (IIR), the State and

Local Anti­Terrorism Training (SLATT) Program

(www.iir.com/slatt) is a training and research

program that provides preincident awareness,

preparation, investigation, prevention, and

interdiction training and information to state and

local law enforcement in the areas of terrorist and

extremist criminal activity. The SLATT Program was

created in 1996 in response to the bombing of the

Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City,

Oklahoma. SLATT was redesigned after September

11, 2001 to better meet the needs of state and local

law enforcement and other first responders in

preparing for their role in homeland security. 

A distinguishing feature of the SLATT Program is its

capacity to provide specialized training to meet the

specific needs of requesting agencies. The program

• Specialized training included providing

technical assistance on issues that arose

during the G8 Summit held in June 

2004 in Sea Island, Georgia. A training

agenda was created for the U.S.

Attorney’s Office in Savannah, Georgia,

and a specialized workshop was

delivered to the FBI G8 Intelligence

Operation Center. The SLATT Train­theTrainer Workshop was delivered to 453

law enforcement officers and trainers at

9 events. Graduates of the workshop in

turn trained 48,966 attendees in the field. 

• SLATT partners provided technical

assistance to the U.S. Marine Corps in

response to a request from the chief of

intelligence of the Philadelphia,

Pennsylvania Police Department. In

anticipation of the 1st Marines

Other Counter­Terrorism Projects

With domestic security an ever­present concern in

America, every state remains focused on protecting

its citizens. Although physical security is a key goal,

a number of infrastructure targets, such as legislative

Adjudication

Prosecutors, judges, and court personnel focus

not only on traditional case management, but

also on innovative approaches to reducing

crime and recidivism. They recognize that

crimes involving drug use, sex offenses, and

mental illness require a different approach to

ensure that the offenders are brought to

justice and receive treatment to prevent

rearrest once they return to their communities.

Even though local courts are responsible for

deciding how to meet these needs, BJA is

committed to providing the resources, tools,

and support necessary to help courts balance

punishment with treatment.

24 BJA Annual Report: FY 2004
Mental Health Courts

One of the most challenging problems confronting

communities today is caused when individuals with

mental disabilities “fall through” community social

safety nets and enter the criminal justice system.

Mental health courts were designed to respond to the

problem of mentally ill misdemeanants and, in some

jurisdictions, low­level nonviolent felony offenders

who repeatedly cycle through the criminal justice

system without receiving treatment for their mental

illness. Mental health courts recognize the recurring

issues of inadequate screening and treatment of

mentally ill and mentally impaired offenders.

BJA coordinates its Mental Health Courts Program

with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health

Services Administration’s (SAMHSA’s) Targeted

Capacity Expansion Grants for Jail Diversion

Programs. The Mental Health Courts Program’s goals

are to use treatment to reduce an offender’s

frequency of contact with the justice system; promote

communication, collaboration, and partnerships

among law enforcement, courts, and community

resources; and enhance public safety.

• According to a survey by the National

Alliance on Mental Illness and the

Council of State Governments (CSG),

100 mental health courts are in operation

nationwide. BJA provides funding for 37

demonstration court programs. BJA’s

technical assistance services include

publications, conferences, and access to

onsite and web­based support for all

courts—grantees and nongrantees alike. 

For example, BJA continued to provide

funding to CSG to support the Criminal

Justice/Mental Health Consensus

Project (www.consensusproject.org). The

project resulted from a national effort to

improve the response to people with

mental illness who enter or are at risk

of entering the criminal justice system.

The Consensus Project web site

provides access to the project’s report;

information about research, statistics,

and web­based resources; and a

directory of program profiles from

across the country that allows visitors 

to communicate online with program

administrators.

• In FYs 2002 and 2003, Congress 

allocated a total of $7 million in 

Byrne discretionary funds for the

implementation of mental health courts.

In FY 2004, BJA funding supported

technical assistance services to the courts.

• BJA provided funding to CSG to plan

and coordinate the First National Mental

Health Courts Conference, held in

Cincinnati, Ohio in

January 2004.

• In February 2001,

President Bush

announced the

creation of the New

response to accomplish six goals to

tackle crime and provide services to

mentally ill offenders. BJA was tasked

with building on these justice and

mental health collaborations. BJA and

SAMHSA also were asked to coordinate

and continue to support a range of

successful criminal justice diversion

programs. BJA currently serves as the

lead agency and monitors each project.

BJA Annual Report: FY 2004 25
• In April 2003, the Oklahoma Department

of Mental Health and Substance Abuse

Services (DMHSAS) received a BJA

grant to fund a full­time intensive case

manager and expenses related to

program management. It is estimated

that the court program saved the state

$5,000 per participant, for an

approximate savings of $625,000 per

year.

DMHSAS’s Court Liaison has seen

evidence of the qualitative changes in

the lives of program graduates. For

example, prior to participation in the

program, a client named “James” lost

nearly everything a decade earlier

because of his mental illness: he was

homeless for more than 8 years,

estranged from his family, and living

without any purpose. When he was

referred to a program identified by the

mental health court, his situation started

to improve. During a recent visit, the

liaison said the client not only shared

his goals and dreams, but also his wish

to reunite with his 22­year­old daughter

to make amends. “As I listened to him,”

the liaison commented, “the thought

struck me . . . what if the Mental Health

Court hadn’t been there and he had

gone to prison? What a waste for the

state, him, his family, and for the people

he wants to serve in his Community

Give­Back Program. One person touches

so many lives.”

Tribal Courts Assistance Program

Tribal courts serve an integral role in American

Indian and Alaska Native communities across the

country. BJA’s Tribal Courts Assistance Program

(TCAP) is one of the primary vehicles for providing

court­related support to tribes. Through TCAP, BJA

works with the National Judicial College; the

National Tribal Justice Resource Center, a project of

the National American Indian Court Judges

Association; the University of North Dakota; the

Alaska Inter­Tribal Council; the National Institute for

Tribal Advocacy; and the National Indian Justice

Center, a regional tribal justice center, to provide

training and technical assistance for tribal court

personnel based on local needs and conditions.

In addition, the National Tribal Justice Resource

Center (www.ntjrc.org) operates a clearinghouse of

tribal judicial resources; provides a searchable

database of tribal justice opinions, codes,

constitutions, court rules, and tribal­state agreements;

and offers online reference and research services. The

University of North Dakota and the Alaska InterTribal Council provide technical assistance to Indian

Country, while the National Institute for Tribal

Advocacy hosts training sessions for tribal

prosecutors and tribal defense lawyers.

• In FY 2004, a cadre of professionals

delivered more than 40 national and

regional training events. These events

reached out to tribal justice personnel

from 134 Indian nations, 91 of which

were BJA grantees. The tribes that

attended these sessions uniformly

reported they were able to use the

concepts presented to improve their

justice systems. A representative of the

Northern Cheyenne Tribe from Lame

Deer, Montana commented, “The tribe

serves a population of 8,000 tribal

members and 2,000 nonmembers. During

the fiscal year, we saw 2,551 new cases

filed and added to an existing caseload of

1,154 cases at the beginning of the year.

BJA training helped the tribe effectively

deal with the increased caseload.”

26 BJA Annual Report: FY 2004
• The Sisseton­Wahpeton Oyate Tribe,

located in northeastern South Dakota,

identified the need to more efficiently

conduct jury trials. The tribe had a

backlog of jury trials, delaying justice 

for victims on the reservation. With the

assistance of a TCAP grant, in FY 2004

the Oyate court impaneled 70 juries and

conducted 55 jury trials—compared with

22 jury trials in FY 2002—and halved the

average length of time from arraignment

to jury from 8 months in FY 2002 to 4

months in FY 2004.

Southwest Border Prosecution Initiative

Prior to 1994, most southwest border counties in

Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Texas did 

not adjudicate drug cases that resulted from the

importation of controlled substances at U.S. ports of

entry or federally monitored interior U.S. border

checkpoints. These cases usually were viewed as a

federal responsibility, and they were prosecuted

exclusively in federal courts by U.S. Attorneys. 

In late 1994, local jurisdictions began entering into

agreements with their U.S. Attorneys, whereby

county attorneys would prosecute certain drug

smuggling cases, particularly if the defendant resided

in the county, drove a locally registered vehicle used

for smuggling, or possessed drugs that were destined

for local delivery.

However, as counties and states began to support

increased prosecutions and incarcerations of federally

referred criminal cases, the counties experienced

financial and resource burdens. Funds were

appropriated to support the state and county

prosecution and detention of federally referred

criminal cases along the southwest border. Any

southwest border county or state government that

prosecuted or detained defendants in federally

referred criminal cases was eligible to apply for

funds under the Southwest Border Prosecution

Initiative (SWBPI). 

• In FY 2004, a total of 68 counties and 

2 state governments participated,

collectively reporting 5,780 eligible cases

disposed between October 1, 2003 and

June 30, 2004. BJA paid out more than

$28 million for those cases.

• The case statistics generated through

SWBPI offered the most comprehensive

profile to date of referred federal cases

prosecuted by border counties and states.

Telemarketing Fraud 

Technical Assistance

Illegal telemarketers steal an estimated $40 billion

from Americans each year. The consequences 

for victims can be financially and emotionally

devastating. In FY 2004, BJA continued to support 

a consortium of prevention, education, and

prosecution projects to thwart fraudulent

telemarketers. A major component of the project has

been the Telemarketing Fraud Training Task Force, a

multiagency committee funded by BJA and led by

the National Association of Attorneys General

(NAAG), the National White Collar Crime Center

(NW3C), and the American Association of Retired

Persons (AARP). Members of the task force provide

trainings and publications about investigating and

prosecuting, both civilly and criminally, fraudulent

telemarketers. The task force also educates seniors

and the public about telemarketing fraud and

develops strategies for crime prevention specialists

working to combat this issue.

• NAAG provided telemarketing fraud

trial practice trainings, which reached a

total of 196 assistant attorneys general in

46 states and the District of Columbia. 

• NAAG disseminated public service

announcements with customized

messages for each state’s attorney

general urging consumers to be aware of

predatory lending practices. In addition,

NAAG, DOJ, the Federal Trade

Commission, AARP, and others

coordinated National Consumer

Protection Week 2004, a large­scale

initiative to highlight consumer

protection and education efforts around

the country.

BJA Annual Report: FY 2004 27
• In August 2004, one of the program’s

technical assistance partners, the

American Prosecutors Research

Institute, provided a peer­to­peer

technical assistance (TA) list on its web

site that already has been downloaded

500 times. Nearly 60 requests for TA

were made in FY 2004. 

• Between January 2003 and the end of

October 2004, state attorneys general

brought 619 telemarketing fraud

enforcement actions, culminating with

the announcement in October 2004 of

Operation Roaming Charge, a joint

federal and state telemarketing

enforcement sweep, and Dialing for

Dollars, a nationwide anti­telemarketing

fraud consumer education effort.

• NW3C currently addresses fraud in

its financial crime courses, which

BJA funds. NW3C facilitates the

development, delivery, and evaluation

of a telemarketing training program

using a best practices and train­thetrainer approach for maximum

leveraging of training resources and

capacity.

Community Justice and Courts

The Center for Court Innovation (CCI) is a publicprivate partnership dedicated to improving the

performance of courts and criminal justice agencies.

CCI’s BJA­funded Problem­Solving Court Project is

part of a multiyear effort to transform how courts in

New York State address difficult legal and social

problems, including juvenile delinquency, domestic

violence, and drug addiction. In particular, BJA’s

grant supports three key areas: training practitioners

in the use of new and effective strategies; promoting

innovation through original research, publications,

and other intellectual products; and developing and

supporting demonstration projects that field test

new ideas.

• CCI (www.courtinnovation.org) has

improved criminal justice performance

through workshops, trainings, and

roundtables. In the area of drug courts

alone, CCI has conducted 37 trainings 

in New York State involving 77 courts

and 900 people. It has conducted 25

domestic violence trainings across the

state involving 35 courts and more than

600 participants. CCI also has developed

a training course on the basics of drug

courts (e.g., pharmacology, the use of

graduated sanctions and rewards,

lessons learned regarding behavioral

change) designed for court judges with

non­drug court dockets. All New York

City criminal court judges were required

to attend the training in 2004; the

training will be used in 2005 as a

template for introducing all judges in

New York State to problem­solving

justice techniques.

• In 2004, CCI published the first

monograph devoted to the

institutionalization of problem­solving

justice. Funded by BJA, A ProblemSolving Revolution? Making Change

Happen in State Courts (www.

courtinnovation.org) sheds light on the

future of problem solving as state court

systems adopt problem­solving

principles on a wide scale. Other

deliverables include two white papers:

Youth Dating Violence: Can a Court

28 BJA Annual Report: FY 2004
Among the demonstration projects supported

by BJA funding were the following:

• The Red Hook Community Justice

Center (Justice Center), the nation’s first

multijurisdictional community court,

seeks to solve domestic violence issues

and neighborhood problems such as

drugs, crime, and landlord­tenant

disputes. In 2004, the Justice Center

handled more than 14,000 cases and

Community Prosecution

Community prosecution is a strategy in which

prosecutors and the community develop innovative

approaches to the crime concerns residents identify

as most pressing in their daily lives. In FY 2004, BJA

and its technical assistance partners—APRI and

CCI—continued to conduct workshops and trainings

and develop publications and newsletters to help

support, implement, and maintain community

prosecution efforts throughout the country.

program participants contributed more

than 79,000 hours of community service

to the neighborhood, which translates

into $408,000 worth of labor. Approval

ratings of law enforcement personnel,

prosecutors, and judges increased

threefold since the Justice Center

opened. In 2004, the Justice Center

received the Rudy Bruner Award for

Urban Excellence, which recognizes

achievements in urban architecture,

planning, and revitalization.

• The Midtown Community Court, the

nation’s first community court, targets

quality­of­life offenses such as

prostitution, illegal vending, graffiti,

shoplifting, fare­beating, and vandalism.

Such efforts have helped transform life

in the once­beleaguered neighborhood

of Times Square in New York City. The

Midtown Court handled more than

20,000 cases in 2004, with independently

verified results showing a 56 percent

reduction in prostitution arrests and a 

24 percent drop in arrests for illegal

vending. The court has inspired the

development of 36 similar courts around

the country.

• The Queens Plaza Community Cleanup

Project puts low­level offenders to work

cleaning up a busy Queens, New York

neighborhood. In FY 2004, 739 offenders

worked nearly 23,000 hours collecting

more than 7,000 bags of garbage from

the community.

• The Community Prosecution Regional

Training was held in Dallas, Texas in

March 2004; Kalamazoo, Michigan in

April 2004; and Indianapolis, Indiana

in September 2004. In addition, the

Advanced Community Prosecution

Training was held in Atlanta, Georgia in

September 2004.

• In FY 2004, APRI published the 

revised Community Prosecution

Implementation Manual, a series of

monographs on specific community

prosecution topics, and a profile of the

10 community prosecution leadership

sites. Other publications, including

Lessons from the Field: Ten Community

Prosecution Leadership Profiles; What

Does It Mean to Practice Community

Prosecution: Organizational,

Functional, and Philosophical Changes;

and Unwelcome Guests: A Community

Prosecution Approach to Street Level

Drug Dealing and Prostitution also

were released and are available on

APRI’s web site (www.ndaa­apri.org/

publications/ndaa/index.html).

• Prior to 2003, Dallas, Texas’ Legislative

Liaison, General Counsel, and Litigation

Divisions were the only units in the

Dallas City Attorney’s Office. In August

2003, Dallas’ city attorney created a

fourth unit, the Community Advocacy

Division. As a result of receiving grant

BJA Annual Report: FY 2004 29
funds, community prosecution is now

an integral part of the growing office.

What began with one prosecutor has

expanded to eight community

prosecutors who work out of offices

throughout the community. These 

offices are located in police substations,

storefronts, a social service center, and

even an apartment complex.

• In Atlanta, Georgia, a public forum

allows the government to connect with

neighborhood residents who represent

24 Neighborhood Planning Units

(NPUs). Each NPU holds regular

meetings at which citizens express their

concerns about community problems 

to representatives from city agencies,

including the fire department, police

department, code enforcement office,

city council, mayor’s office, and zoning

and sanitation departments.

Before the implementation of

community prosecution in Fulton

County, prosecutors generally attended

NPU meetings only if a key public

safety issue was being discussed. In 

FY 2004, the District Attorney’s Office

sent representatives to 90 percent of the

planning meetings. Although NPU

meetings provided a great means to

exchange information, as time passed

prosecutors determined they needed a

more focused method of communication

to complement NPU meetings. To meet

this need, the District Attorney’s Office

formed the first Citizen Advisory

Committees in each of the county’s six

zones.

BJA Annual Report: FY 2004

Judicial Training

Since 1963, the National Judicial College (NJC) has

provided educational and professional development

opportunities to judges worldwide. From judges in

limited jurisdictions to U.S. Supreme Court justices,

attendees have benefited from the very best in

judicial education offered at the college.

NJC offers a wide range of faculty development

courses, including: 

• Tribal Education.

• Creating an Active Learning Environment.

• Distance Learning.

• Integrating Cultural, Race, and Gender Issues

Into Judicial Education. 

• Managing Sex Offenders.

In addition to exploring new technologies and

integrating them into its state­of­the­art courtroom,

NJC, in conjunction with BJA, continually improves

its publications and curricula. With BJA funding, NJC

also provides financial assistance to judges

participating in NJC courses.

• NJC continued to develop the following

curricula to ensure its offerings are stateof­the­art: (1) juveniles and substance

abuse, (2) working with the executive

and legislative branches, (3) prebench

education of judges, and (4) leadership

in court administration. 

• NJC’s Reynolds National Center for 

the Courts and Media also began

Edward Byrne Memorial State 

and Local Law Enforcement 

Assistance Program

States and local jurisdictions are encouraged to use

Byrne grant funds to create innovative programs that

demonstrate new and different approaches to law

enforcement, prosecution, and adjudication of drug

offenses and other serious crimes.

• Guam: Family Violence and Juvenile

Prosecution Project. This project

involves three prosecutors who handle

cases involving juvenile offenders, one

of whom is supported by Byrne funding.

In FY 2004, the prosecutors filed 253

juvenile cases, a 75 percent increase over

the previous reporting period.

• Hawaii: Community Prosecution

Program. The Community Prosecution

Program works with Hawaii’s attorney

general to disrupt drug use and

distribution on private property in

Hawaii and Maui Counties. The

program’s accomplishments since 2003

include the formation of a task force to

decrease agriculture theft in Hawaii

County. The task force monitors openmarket vendors to help prevent sales of

stolen goods. In response to the small

number of offenders who commit a

large number of property crimes,

community prosecutors also started

using community impact statements

whenever possible for plea agreements

and sentencing recommendations.

Finally, the prosecutors shared technical

assistance, expertise, and training costs,

resulting in more coordinated and costeffective efforts.

• Michigan: Allegan County Domestic

Violence Intervention Project. This

project implements such a swift,

coordinated response to domestic

violence that arraignments and pretrials

are completed within 2 weeks. Two

assistant prosecutors, one supported

with Byrne funds, in cooperation with 

a local domestic violence shelter, train

shelter employees to testify as expert

witnesses. Prosecutors meet with victims

within 72 hours of a domestic violence

incident and interview them at the

shelter, a comforting setting that

encourages victims to talk more freely.

The project coordinates multiagency

evaluation meetings and offers domestic

violence training that covers witness

interviews, evidence collection,

preservation of hearsay evidence, and

911 recordings. During FY 2004, the

program requested 701 warrants,

arrested 523 suspects, and interviewed

214 victims within 72 hours of an

incident and referred them to emergency

support services.

• New Hampshire: Belknap County

Restorative Justice Program. This

county­level juvenile justice initiative is

a pilot project based on the restorative

justice model and designed for juveniles

between the ages of 10 and 17. In FY

2004, the project’s third year of

operation, it served 71 youth through

27 completed cases and 44 new cases.

The project continued to train and

support community volunteers to

participate in the programs’ panels.

From the restorative panel meetings,

the juveniles entered into contracts

designed to hold them accountable

for their actions and to give them a

constructive means by which to repair

the harm they caused to their victims

and communities. The completion of

terms of the contracts resulted in nearly

1,600 hours of community service and

$1,340 in restitution payments.

• Tennessee: Office of Criminal Justice

Programs. In FY 2003, the Tennessee

Office of Criminal Justice Programs

dedicated Byrne funding to the

Davidson County (Nashville) Mental

Health Court (DCMHC), the state’s 

first mental health court. The funding

allowed DCMHC to provide mentally ill

offenders with a trained and dedicated

judge, prosecutor, defender, mental

BJA Annual Report: FY 2004 31
health specialist, and probation officer.

Upon the offenders’ referral and

acceptance into the court’s program,

staff developed tailored treatment plans

to divert them from incarceration. As a

result of this funding, more than 280

offenders were served in 2003 and 2004,

with a recidivism rate of 5.6 percent. The

program now serves as a model for

developing future mental health courts

in other cities and counties in Tennessee.

• Utah: Salt Lake County Mental Health

Court Pilot Project. The Salt Lake

County Mental Health Court reduces

recidivism among offenders with an

identified mental illness by securing

psychiatric medications for court

participants, increasing participant

treatment compliance, and providing

intensive case management through

Valley Mental Health Services.

Participants report to a case manager,

receive a treatment plan, and are

immediately released into treatment,

where probation officers monitor their

compliance. The court provides safe 

and clean housing for participants in

recovery. Noncompliant participants,

especially those who refuse to take their

medication or who suffer repeated

relapses, may be returned to jail. The

court currently works with 63

participants and has had 107 total

admissions. The project reduced the

arrest rate for participants by 26 percent

in FY 2003 and 54 percent in FY 2004,

reduced jail costs by 10 percent, and

dramatically increased the level of

treatment participants receive. 

• West Virginia: Sexual Assault Nurse

Examiner (SANE) Training Project.

SANE programs provide high­quality

care for sexual assault victims across the

United States and dramatically increase

conviction rates for perpetrators. SANE

nurses collect evidence in emergency

rooms and are certified to provide

expert testimony at trials. Many SANE

programs report that perpetrators are

more likely to plead guilty before trial if

evidence collected by SANE is to be

introduced. The West Virginia SANE

Project is working to provide 5 days 

(40 hours) of comprehensive training 

to nurses, doctors, law enforcement

officers, prosecutors, and victim

advocates. In FY 2004, the program

trained 72 nurses, provided technical

assistance to 6 hospitals, and worked on

the development of a statewide system

to collect information on sexual assaults.

Substance Abuse

Substance abuse issues affect every aspect 

of the criminal justice system. The major

challenge facing the justice system today is no

longer whether criminal justice and treatment

goals can be merged, but rather how to move

forward with demonstrated best practices 

to ensure that evidence­based methods are 

used and institutionalized. Cross­system

collaboration and federal partnerships are

critical to sharing information and enabling

the criminal justice system to use measured

strategies for treatment, supervision, case

management, and a continuum of services that

fully integrate families and the community.

BJA administers several grant programs

focused on substance abusing offenders and is

committed to providing federal leadership in

the treatment of these offenders by advancing

research and evidence­based practices. 

32 BJA Annual Report: FY 2004
Drug Court Discretionary 

Grant Program

The Drug Court Discretionary Grant Program

provides financial and technical assistance to states,

state and local courts, units of local government, and

tribal governments to develop and implement drug

courts that effectively integrate treatment, mandatory

drug testing, sanctions and incentives, and

transitional services in a judicially supervised court

setting that has jurisdiction over nonviolent,

substance abusing offenders. Programs that receive

funding are required to target nonviolent offenders

and implement a drug court based on 10 recognized

components. The drug court program supports the

implementation of adult, juvenile, and family drug

courts and the enhancement of single­jurisdiction

and statewide drug courts. In FY 2004, BJA awarded

61 grants, totaling $18.1 million.

The overall goal of the drug court strategy is to build

capacity at the local and state levels by (1) providing

direct funding to local courts to implement or

enhance a drug court, (2) providing an array of

training and technical assistance opportunities to

implement best practices, (3) supporting the

evaluation of drug courts to demonstrate their

effectiveness, and (4) partnering with the drug court

field to integrate the drug court movement into the

mainstream court system. 

• The National Drug Court Training 

and Technical Assistance Program

(NDCTTAP) supports the drug court

program by increasing the knowledge

and skills of drug court practitioners to

plan, implement, and sustain effective

drug court programs. Through the Drug

Court Planning Initiative, a component

of NDCTTAP, 211 communities

throughout the nation received training

on how to start a drug court. Expert

faculty delivered 60 workshops, training

nearly 1,700 participants. BJA provided

this training free of charge, and 95

percent of the communities that

successfully completed the training have

established or are planning a drug court

for the near future.

• To ensure that

judicial officials and

other team members

have the most upto­date materials

from the field, BJA

launched an effort

to provide the field

with subject­specific

training. In all, 500

individuals

attended 29 state­ofthe­art trainings on

Sustaining Your

Drug Court,

Cultural

Competency,

Incentives and

Sanctions, and

others. Court

administrative

offices and state court conferences

requested 33 specialized events, and 10

communities received indepth and

onsite technical assistance.

• Drug court efforts were augmented by

BJA’s Drug Court Clearinghouse, 

which has been operating at American

University since 1994 and serves as 

a national center for drug court

information and activity. The

clearinghouse responded to more than

4,000 field inquiries, distributed more

than 1,000 publications, and fulfilled

nearly 100 individualized database

searches.

• BJA demonstrated its leadership role in

the drug court community by providing

funding to support conferences hosted

by the National Rural Alcohol and 

Drug Abuse Network, the National

Association of Drug Court Professionals,

People of Color, and the Federal

Consortium of Agencies Involved 

with Substance Abuse Issues.

“Drug courts are an effective and

cost efficient way to keep nonviolent drug offenders committed to

a rigorous drug treatment program in

lieu of prison. By leveraging the

coercive power of the criminal

justice system, drug courts can alter

the behavior of non­violent, lowlevel drug offenders through a

combination of judicial supervision,

case management, mandatory drug

testing, and treatment to ensure

abstinence from drugs and

escalating sanctions.”

from A Blueprint for New Beginnings: 

A Responsible Budget for America’s Priorities

FY 2004 Drug Court Grantees, by Geographic Location

In FY 2004, awards were given to 61 agencies representing 42 states. In some instances, the same geographic location received

more than one grant. Kentucky, Maine, North Dakota, and Tennessee each received two grants and New York received five.

• BJA continued to provide funding to

OJP’s National Institute of Justice to

complete an extensive, longitudinal,

multiyear national study of 2,200 drug

court participants from 29 communities.

A comparison group of similar

defendants also will be studied;

comprehensive results will be available

in 2007.

• In Texas, the Office of the Governor’s

commitment to drug court initiatives

has resulted in the recent proliferation of

drug courts. In addition, local successes

and state­level support have contributed

to increased awareness and expansion of

the state’s drug court program. As of

October 2004, 33 drug courts were active

in 20 Texas counties; 12 of those

commenced operations in 2004. A study

of three Texas adult drug courts tracked

graduates and a comparison group for 

2 years. Results showed that program

graduates were rearrested at lower rates

than offenders in the comparison group:

Dallas County, 10 percent versus 51

percent; Jefferson County, 26 percent

versus 44 percent; and Travis County, 25

percent versus 46 percent.

Indian Alcohol and 

Substance Abuse Program

The Indian Alcohol and Substance Abuse Program,

initiated in FY 2002, is designed to help prevent and

control alcohol and substance abuse in tribal

communities. Eligible applicants for BJA funding

include any federally recognized American Indian

tribe, band, nation, or organized group or

community, including any Alaska Native village or

regional or village corporation. Communities were

selected for funding through a competitive

application process that involved three funding

categories, including a law enforcement component,

a treatment services component, and a combined

component. 

• In FY 2004, BJA had the opportunity to

work with more than 60 American

Indian and Alaska Native communities.

BJA’s lead technical assistance partner,

Fox Valley Technical College, provided

training and technical assistance to 750

34 BJA Annual Report: FY 2004
individuals: 300 grantees, 100

nongrantee tribal scholarship recipients,

and 350 participants of BJA­sponsored

national and regional events.

• The Sitka Tribe, located in Sitka, Alaska,

is a federally recognized tribe with

3,100 members. Before the grant,

culturally appropriate treatment

programs to address alcohol and

substance abuse were not available to

the tribe. Since receiving the grant, 

the tribe has developed culturally

appropriate intake assessment processes

and education classes for offenders 

in its community. The tribe’s

implementation team now conducts

regular meetings with state officials to

develop protocols for referrals, has

initiated a KidCops Program, and holds

ongoing women’s healing circles.

• The Bear River Band of Rohnerville

Rancheria, located in Loleta, California,

is a federally recognized tribe with 260

members—60 percent of whom are

between the ages of 12 and 23. The tribe

developed a referral system from state

courts and a treatment program, and

through contracted services with 

the United Indian Health Services,

information about the tribe’s culture

and history is now integrated into the

drug and alcohol treatment programs.

As part of the Bear River Band’s

community outreach strategy, the tribe

launched an annual event, Cultural

Days, to encourage community

involvement in healthy lifestyle changes

and host activities in an alcohol­ and

drug­free environment.

• The Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior

Chippewa, located in Bayfield,

Wisconsin, has 1,700 members. The

tribe used its BJA funding to assess

community problems and find ways to

address alcohol and substance abuse by

engaging the community and its

government. A training program was

implemented that involved law

enforcement and social services from

tribal and county agencies in developing

a collaborative strategic plan. As a

result, the training strengthened

relationships and provided opportunities

to discuss common goals. 

Over the grant period, this group

became a team, expanding its

membership to include representatives

from school administration, probation,

and prosecution; a judge; and the

community service coordinator. The 

Red Cliff Band’s hopes for success are

evident in its plans for the future, which

include implementing a Healing to

Wellness Court, Community

Reconciliation Workshops, and

Alternative Sentencing Circles.

Harold Rogers Prescription 

Drug Monitoring Program

Administered by BJA, the Harold Rogers Prescription

Drug Monitoring Program began in FY 2002 to

enhance the capacity of regulatory and law

enforcement agencies to collect and analyze

controlled substance prescription data. Developed in

conjunction with the Drug Enforcement

Administration’s Office of Diversion Control, the

program focuses on helping states to establish or

enhance a prescription drug monitoring program.

The program also helps prevent and detect the

diversion and abuse of pharmaceutical controlled

substances—something particularly important to the

retail sector, where no other automated information

collection system exists. Program objectives include

(1) enhancing existing systems to analyze and use

collected data, (2) facilitating the exchange of

collected prescription data among states, and (3)

assessing the efficiency and effectiveness of the

programs funded under this initiative.

BJA Annual Report: FY 2004 35
• The number of states that applied for

funding increased from 9 in FY 2003

to 24 in FY 2004. Planning,

implementation, and enhancement

grants were awarded to 23 states, and

1 training and technical assistance

award went to the National Alliance for

Model State Drug Laws, which in turn

provided technical assistance to 42 states

in FY 2004.

• BJA hosted the first National

Prescription Drug Monitoring

Conference in early FY 2004.

Representatives from more than 30

states participated in the conference,

where they received training on drug

monitoring and the grant process. BJA

also organized three regional facilitated

meetings and one nonfacilitated meeting

for its grantees.

Combating Methamphetamine Use

Methamphetamine has caused serious concern to

state and local justice agencies nationwide. Once

considered a localized enforcement problem,

methamphetamine production and use has spread

from rural, western jurisdictions to all areas of the

country. Methamphetamine is easily made in

clandestine laboratories from relatively inexpensive

over­the­counter ingredients. The U.S. Department of

Justice, in coordination with the Office of National

Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) and other domestic

and international law enforcement agencies,

continues to provide resources to help agencies fight

the manufacturing, trafficking, and use of this

dangerous drug.

BJA supports state and local law enforcement

partners by (1) ensuring that drug courts remain

responsive to methamphetamine abuse, (2) providing

ongoing training to Methamphetamine Task Force

commanders, (3) supporting methamphetamine

enforcement and cleanup, and (4) administering the

Regional Information Sharing Systems (RISS) (see

page 52 for more information about this program) to

provide secure communication capabilities and

specialized surveillance equipment assistance for

undercover operations.

• In FY 2004, more than 1,300

commanders participated in the

Methamphetamine Task Force

Commanders Training Program,

bringing the total number of task force

commanders trained to 4,183. 

• In October 2004, BJA, in conjunction

with ONDCP and the National Alliance

for Model State Drug Laws, sponsored a

National Methamphetamine Legislative

and Policy Conference. Participants

from law enforcement, public health,

treatment organizations, and other units

of local government and justice system

professionals nationwide discussed

ways of addressing the

methamphetamine issue through local

and state statutes and ordinances. More

than 350 people from 34 jurisdictions

participated.

• RISS member agency investigations—

supported by RISS Center services—

resulted in more than 4,600 arrests and

the seizure of $67 million in narcotics,

$13 million in property, and $4 million

in currency. Although these figures

represent all narcotics investigations, the

RISS Centers have helped make many of

these arrests and confiscated hundreds

of thousands of dollars in currency,

narcotics, and real property related to

member agency methamphetamine

investigations.

Residential Substance Abuse 

Treatment for State Prisoners 

Formula Grant Program

The Residential Substance Abuse Treatment for State

Prisoners (RSAT) Formula Grant Program assists

states and units of local government in developing

and implementing residential substance abuse

treatment programs in state and local correctional

and detention facilities. RSAT programs provide

individual and group treatment activities for

offenders. Each program must last between 6 and 12

months; provide residential treatment facilities set

apart from the general population; focus on inmates’

substance abuse problems; and develop inmates’

cognitive, behavioral, social, vocational, and other

skills to solve their substance abuse and related

problems. Ultimately, RSAT­funded programs seek to

help offenders become drug free and learn the skills

needed to remain drug free upon their return to the

community. Although no new funding was available

in FY 2004, grantees used previously awarded

funding to continue RSAT activities.

• One of Arizona’s seven in­prison

programs is Women in Recovery. One

component of this program emphasizes

family interaction and unity and

reinforces the inmates’ roles as parents

by focusing on parenting skills,

communication, and rebuilding family

relationships. To support the Women 

in Recovery program, the Arizona

Department of Corrections and Arizona

Cactus Pine Girl Scout Council support

Girl Scouts Beyond Bars, which allows

inmates and their daughters to

participate in girl­scouting activities in

the prison.

• In Montana, the Pine Hill Youth

Correctional Facility uses its RSAT funds

to combine a strong resident program

with a closely coordinated aftercare

component. The program strives to

reduce substance abuse among an

increased number of juvenile inmates.

The facility conducted cognitive

behavioral and chemical dependency

training for treatment

and security staff

assigned to the

treatment unit, transition

center staff, and juvenile

parole officers. The

facility also continued

implementation 

of a therapeutic

substance abuse

program, including a

cognitive behavioral approach that

selected offenders participated in for

6–12 months. All youth released from

the Pine Hills program are preplaced in

an established aftercare program in or

near their home community so they

receive the continued treatment and

critical support needed to stay drug free. 

• In Illinois, a client with an addiction to

methamphetamine entered an RSATfunded treatment program at the Graham

Correctional Center in November 2000

with the goal of obtaining “good time.”

Although initially defiant and resistant to

the program concepts, after participating

in several learning and awareness

exercises as part of the treatment

program, the client began to understand

the extent of his addiction and other

problems in his life. In turn, the client

began to participate in earnest—

assuming such roles as older family

member, house leader, and staff clerk—

and ultimately completed all the goals in

his treatment plan.

Since his release

from the Illinois

Department of

Corrections in

March 2004, the

client has kept in

contact with staff and been drug free. He

also has obtained gainful employment

and displays the conduct of an

upstanding citizen.

Edward Byrne Memorial State 

and Local Law Enforcement 

Assistance Program

With substance abuse affecting individuals, families,

and communities nationwide, communities have

looked to federal programs like the Byrne Formula

Grant Program to support local initiatives such as

drug courts for effective, long­term responses. In

addition, 105 Byrne subawards totaling more than

$13 million were made to support drug courts

throughout the country.

• California: Marin County Adult Drug

Court. Designed to be completed in 13

months, the Marin County Adult Drug

Court is a court­supervised, highly

structured, intensive outpatient

treatment program. Participants in the

program are drug tested at least three

times per week. Upon graduation,

defendants who had been charged with

drug possession have their charges

dismissed; graduates who had been

charged with property crimes have their

sentences set aside and their probation

term ended, although their convictions

remain. In total, the program has served

84 county residents. In FY 2004, the drug

court’s efforts saved Marin County 4,268

days (nearly 12 years) of jail time; 24,285

days (nearly 67 years) of supervised

probation; and 1,095 days (3 years) of

prison time. The recidivism rate was 4.3

percent.

• Nevada: Media Campaign to Stop Drug

Abuse. The Nevada Department of

Public Safety recently reported that

nearly 30 percent of the state’s 12­ to 

17­year­olds have abused prescription

drugs. To address this problem, in FY

2004 Nevada initiated a new media

campaign—supported by BJA funding—

that targets prescription drug abuse by

young people. The campaign includes a

television public service announcement,

a web site (www.painfullyobvious.com),

posters that youth groups distribute,

and speaking engagements by

prescription drug experts.

• New Jersey: Drug Courts Program.

According to a study by the American

University Drug Court Clearinghouse

and Technical Assistance Project, every

dollar spent on treatment leads to a

$7.46 reduction in crime­related

spending and lost productivity. New

Jersey drug courts are working to

rehabilitate offenders and reduce the

costs associated with substance abuse.

Since their start in 1999, the state’s drug

courts have enrolled 4,350 participants;

conducted nearly 67,000 drug tests, 97

percent of which were negative; and

helped place 94 percent of its graduates

in jobs. Especially meaningful were the

births of nearly 50 drug­free babies to

drug court participants, a tremendous

victory for the mothers and a significant

savings to communities in treatment

costs for the newborns (approximately

$750,000–$1.5 million per child).

• New York: Road to Recovery Program.

New York’s program permits nonviolent

felony offenders—usually those

sentenced for drug­ or alcohol­related

crimes—to avoid prison if they

successfully complete an intensive

rehabilitation program. The program

diverts offenders into one of three

programs. When fully implemented,

Road to Recovery will be expanded to

serve 17 counties. The program’s first

client was accepted in June 2003, and by

the end of the first year, 93 clients had

already entered the program.

• South Dakota: Department of

Corrections Substance Abuse Program.

In FY 2004, South Dakota’s Department

of Corrections Substance Abuse Program

offered treatment services to nearly

1,000 adults and relapse prevention

services to nearly 390 adults in its

correctional system. Tracking of

program graduates revealed an

abstinence rate of 45.1 percent, an

unemployment rate of 9.6 percent

(versus 33 percent before treatment), and

an arrest rate of 18.6 percent (versus 75

percent before treatment).

Community and

Institutional Corrections

Public safety requires the effective supervision

and management of offenders in the

community. Community supervision officers

balance the time required for growing

caseloads with the goal of providing offenders

with the services needed to become lawabiding citizens. To meet this challenge, law

enforcement and community corrections

nationwide are partnering to streamline

services. BJA supports innovative programs

and projects to increase the safety of

supervision officers and help jurisdictions

with the cost of incarcerating aliens—all while

ensuring offender accountability. Correctional

facilities are using a combination of treatment,

work, education, and mental health programs

to develop an offender’s life and work skills

to increase the likelihood of a successful

reentry. BJA also continues to provide funding

and assistance to correctional programs to test

alternatives to more traditional incarceration

programs.

Serious and Violent Offender 

Reentry Initiative

The Serious and Violent Offender Reentry Initiative

(SVORI) (www.ojp.usdoj.gov/reentry) affects and

reduces recidivism by building state and local

capacity. A coordinated effort among OJP and its

federal partners—the U.S. Departments of Labor,

Health and Human Services, Education, Housing

and Urban Development, and Veterans Affairs and

the U.S. Social Security Administration—SVORI uses

dynamic assessment tools to determine areas of risk

and needs that address a range of appropriate

services for offenders. 

The SVORI approach focuses on three phases: (1)

institutionally based programs that prepare offenders

to reenter society, (2) community­based transition

programs to reduce the likelihood of recidivism, and

(3) community­based, long­term support to sustain

success once offenders return to society. OJP and its

federal partners provide technical assistance

resources, expertise in program planning and

development, information about related initiatives,

and funds to support reentry activities at the state

and local levels. This comprehensive approach

ensures that offenders who serve their time and

reenter society have the resources they need. They

return to their families and communities with the

assistance of a network of agencies and individuals

who monitor and mentor them on the path toward

contributing to society. 

• Since August 2003, BJA has served as

the technical

coordinator for

SVORI, in consultation

with OJP’s Office of

Management Program] has had a

direct impact on the public safety 

of Texans and has provided a

valuable bond between our agency

One example is “John,” an adolescent

adjudicated on a felony charge for

molesting and raping a juvenile. Initially,

John had been placed with his

grandmother and was receiving

treatment from one of Delaware County’s

outpatient treatment centers. During

that time, John did not follow his

treatment regimen, and the supervision

officer was preparing to revoke John’s

probation and recommend commitment

to the Division of Youth Services. 

Instead, John was assigned to a newly

initiated juvenile sex offender court

program. After meeting with his

treatment provider, probation officer,

and magistrate, who communicated

their expectations and the consequences

if John failed to follow probation

conditions, John expressed a strong

desire to succeed in the program.

Ultimately, John completed treatment,

complied with his supervision

conditions, and has not been

investigated for, charged with, or

convicted of any other offenses since his

sentence was terminated. Without the

CASOM grant, Delaware County would

not have been able to establish the sex

offender court, and without the sex

offender court the county believes that

John would be in prison today.

• In FY 2004, a tremendous backlog in

Nebraska’s Sex Offender Registry was

virtually eliminated thanks to BJA

funding. As in the majority of the states,

Nebraska state law requires notification

of a sex offender’s whereabouts, on

release, to various entities based on an

assessment of the offender’s potential 

to recidivate. For an offender rated 

as a “low” risk of reoffending, law

enforcement agencies must be notified;

for “moderate” level offenders, schools,

daycare centers, religious and youth

organizations, and law enforcement

agencies must be notified; and for

offenders with a “high” risk of

recidivism, information must be

disseminated on the state patrol web

site, on cable and local television

programs, in the newspapers, and 

to schools, daycare centers, religious 

and youth organizations, and law

enforcement agencies. The following

example illustrates how immense a task

this can be: Approximately 7,000 entities

in the state must be notified regarding a

moderate risk sex offender. Currently,

Nebraska has more than 1,800 active sex

offender registrants.

State Criminal Alien 

Assistance Program

BJA administers the State Criminal Alien Assistance

Program (SCAAP) in conjunction with the U.S.

Department of Homeland Security’s Bureau of

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

SCAAP provides federal funds to states and localities

that incurred correctional officer salary costs for

incarcerating undocumented criminal aliens with at

least one felony or two misdemeanor convictions for

violations of state or local law and who are

incarcerated for at least 4 consecutive days during

the applicable 12­month reporting period. Eligible

applicants include the 50 state governments, the

District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S.

Virgin Islands, and the more than 3,000 counties and

cities with correctional facilities. To receive

reimbursement, jurisdictions must provide

information on undocumented criminal alien inmates

for the prescribed reporting period, the total

reporting period salary information for their full­ and

part­time permanent and contracted correctional

officers, and the total number of days inmates are

incarcerated.

• Since its inception in 1995, SCAAP has

provided states and localities with more

than $4 billion in federal funds to help

defray the cost of incarcerating illegal

aliens convicted of violating state or

local law. 

42 BJA Annual Report: FY 2004
• In FY 2004, $281 million was paid to 748

eligible jurisdictions that applied for

SCAAP reimbursements. Applicants

represented a diverse cross­section of

governments, including 50 states and

territories, 21 cities, and 677 counties.

Nearly 279,000 illegal alien inmate

records were submitted by the

applicants. Final payments covered 42

percent of applicants’ reported salary

costs attributable to undocumented

criminal aliens.

Violent Offender Incarceration and 

Truth­in­Sentencing Incentive Program

The Violent Offender Incarceration and Truth­inSentencing (VOI/TIS) Incentive Program provides

formula grants to states to build or expand

correctional facilities and jails to increase secure

confinement space for Part I violent offenders or

adjudicated delinquents who have committed

equivalent acts. Funds also are used to build or

expand temporary or permanent correctional

facilities, including facilities on military bases, prison

barges, and boot camps; confine convicted

nonviolent offenders and criminal aliens; or free

suitable existing prison space for the confinement of

persons convicted of Part 1 violent crimes.

States also can allocate subgrants of up to 15 percent

of their VOI/TIS award to local units of government

to build or expand jails and allocate up to 10 percent

of their VOI/TIS award (1) to the costs of offender

drug testing or intervention programs during periods

of incarceration and post­incarceration criminal

justice supervision and/or (2) to pay the costs of

providing the required reports on drug use in prison.

During FYs 1996–2001, more than $2.7 billion was

allocated for the VOI/TIS Program. Half of the funds

were made available for VOI grants, and half were

available as incentive awards to states that

implemented TIS laws. Although no funds were

appropriated for FYs 2002–04, states continued to

spend remaining funds.

• American Samoa: Security Upgrades. In

FY 2004 the American Samoa

Department of Public Safety used its

VOI/TIS funds to implement security

upgrades at the Tafuna Correctional

Facility, which also was built using

VOI/TIS funds. Upgrades included the

expansion of the correctional facility’s

perimeter fence and renovation and

enhancement of a security/guard post at

its entrance.

• Idaho: Multiple Initiatives. Idaho is

funding nine different projects, varying

from construction to administration to

research­based initiatives. As of the 

end of FY 2004, three of these projects 

have been completed: the East Boise

Community Work Center remodeling

project is operating at full capacity; the

Parole Violator Center is open and offers

100 beds in a dormitory­style therapeutic

community that treats inmates with

substance abuse problems; and a capacity

study conducted at the Women’s Work

Release Center and Pocatello Women’s

Correctional Center is complete, with

the East Boise Community Work Center

using information obtained from the

study. To date, Idaho has 140 beds

completed, with 320 additional beds

under construction or planned.

• Mississippi: Mississippi State

Penitentiary. The state’s penitentiary

used VOI/TIS funding to enlarge its

capacity and improve security.

Specifically, funding was used to

construct new bedspace, develop a drug

screening and testing program, upgrade

fencing material, and install perimeter

security and surveillance systems.

Through FY 2004, additional funding

was dedicated to expand on and

improve the penitentiary’s drug

screening and testing program.

• New Mexico: Enhancing Its Facilities.

New Mexico used VOI/TIS funding to

add or improve on beds and, in some

cases, provide extensive security

upgrades to facilities throughout the

BJA Annual Report: FY 2004 43
state. At the Western New Mexico

Correctional Facility, for example, 135

beds, a kitchen, a dining room, and a

medical area were added. At the south

unit, security was upgraded to make it 

a “super max” facility, and nearly 260

beds were added. Other facilities in the

state used funding to support a 5­year

study of alternatives to housing female

inmates and minimum­security male

inmates, construct 102 beds for mentally

ill inmates, and combat drug use. The

Southern New Mexico Correctional

Facility used its funding to upgrade 480

beds for medium­ to high­security

inmates, update the intercom system,

erect security fencing to separate the

more violent offenders from the general

prison population, and construct visiting

areas and indoor recreation pens with

camera surveillance.

• Virginia: Improving Prison Capacity.

Virginia has used its VOI/TIS funding

to improve prison capacity by planning

for and adding new beds. Additional

funding went toward construction and

expansion projects, drug testing, and

intervention activities. Improved

capacity was realized through the

construction of a new prison at St.

Brides Replacement Facility, which

involved the purchase of 352 new beds.

By the close of the project, 1,056 new

beds will have been added.

BJA certifies that local and state

prison industry programs meet all

requirements to be exempt from federal

restrictions on prisoner­made goods in

interstate commerce. The program

places inmates in realistic work

environments, pays them prevailing

wages, and offers them an opportunity

to develop marketable skills to increase

their potential for rehabilitation and

meaningful employment on release. In

FY 2004, approximately 40 site visits

were conducted to educate county and

jail industry personnel about PIECP and

correctional industries. BJA’s technical

assistance partner, the National

Correctional Industries Association,

provided technical assistance to 11

agencies, including the Arkansas

Correctional Industries, which received

assistance—through a site visit—in

establishing a program similar to the

successful Texas Correctional Industries

PIECP.

• Center for Community Corrections. 

The BJA­funded Center for Community

Corrections (CCC) seeks to increase the

use of community corrections as an

alternative for nonviolent offenders. In

FY 2004, CCC continued to address vital

issues such as housing, employment

development, and the nexus between

services related to reentry, probation,

• Correctional Options Demonstration

Program. This program focuses on

promoting effective correctional options

by disseminating practical, tested

information and technical assistance.

Correctional options include

community­based incarceration,

weekend incarceration, correctional boot

camps, transitional programs and

aftercare services, day reporting,

structured fines, electronic monitoring,

intensive probation, and any other

innovative sanctions designed for

offenders who can be managed 

most effectively in a nontraditional

correctional setting. In 2004, correctional

agencies in Alaska, Florida, Nevada,

North Carolina, Ohio, and Pennsylvania

requested technical assistance. TA also

was provided to correctional facilities in

Rhode Island and Texas.

• Rural Probation Training.

Implementing integrated, automated

case management systems has been a

challenge for many state and local

jurisdictions. Through a grant from BJA,

the American Probation and Parole

Association (APPA) developed a

document that defines functional

standards to assist probation agencies 

in implementing automated case

management systems. The standards, 

as well as other APPA publications and

resources, are available online at

www.appa­net.org. Prior to publication

of these standards, no guidelines or

standards were available to help

probation agencies develop, implement,

maintain, or enhance automated case

management systems. 

APPA also has worked to increase the

availability of training and information

on effective offender supervision

practices and programming to probation

and parole professionals, especially

those working in rural areas.

Recognizing that officers in rural

agencies often do not have access to

traditional training events, the project

offered training through teleconferences

and the Internet. The web­based

workshop “Basic Safety for Probation

and Parole Officers” is the most recent

training available for professionals in

America’s rural areas.

• Protecting Inmates and 

Safeguarding Communities. In FY 2004,

BJA received approximately $20 million

to administer grants to states to help

protect male and female inmates in

adult and juvenile correctional facilities

from prison rape. The program consists 

of two parts: (1) protecting inmates and

(2) safeguarding communities. For each

part, specific goals and objectives are

identified to enhance the control and

support services for both victims and

perpetrators of sexual assault and prison

rape.

The protecting inmates portion of the

program provides funding to state and

local agencies for the costs of personnel,

training, technical assistance, 

and data collection. Likewise, the

safeguarding communities portion

assists states as they implement

strategies to make release decisions

while maximizing public safety. The

program draws on analyses of prison

populations and risk­assessment

instruments to inform and educate state

and local governments’ understanding

of their responsibilities related to the

inmate population using results­based

outcomes.

Edward Byrne Memorial State 

and Local Law Enforcement 

Assistance Program

Criminal justice officials continue to refine the

balance of matching the crime with the punishment,

addressing victim needs, rehabilitating offenders,

and keeping communities safe. Courts, focused on

improving the operational effectiveness of the

judicial system, are using Byrne Program funding to

explore nontraditional corrections strategies. Options

such as intensified probation, work release, victim

restitution, and community service are being 

used by courts to ease the strain on the traditional

correctional system.

• Florida: Collier County Intensive

Supervision Program (ISP). In FY 2003,

five intensive supervision programs in

Florida began classifying offenders

based on their level of risk to the

community. In turn, the programs

concentrated their limited resources on

individuals identified as most likely to

reoffend in an effort to increase the

number of participants who successfully

reenter the community, enhance 

public safety, and expand restitution

collections. The Collier County Sheriff’s

Office operates the Juvenile Arrest and

Monitoring (JAM) Program, one of

Florida’s ISPs. JAM monitors offenders

who are on probation or have returned

to the community from a commitment

program. Officers monitor patterns of

behavior that indicate a juvenile is at

risk of reoffending, including running

away and truancy. The officers refer

these youth to a network of community

partners and help parents supervise

recalcitrant children. From July 2003

through July 2004, JAM supervised more

than 1,600 offenders, provided nearly

600 parents with case management

counseling, completed approximately

20 community restoration projects, and

placed 235 offenders in community

restoration projects.

• South Dakota: Governor’s Adult

Sentencing Workgroup. The Adult

Sentencing Workgroup has significantly

reduced population growth in South

Dakota’s adult male prisons by

providing expanded chemical

dependency services, more meaningful

apprenticeship training, improved career

services for inmates reentering the

community, and increased use of parole

and intensive probation. As a result, 

the state has seen its annual prison

population growth drop from more than

7 percent to less than 3 percent, with

virtually no growth during FY 2004. 

• Vermont: Vermont Department of

Corrections (DOC) Education Project.

This project provides academic

instruction, vocational training, and

social services to state inmates who lack

basic education. More than 130 teachers,

including professional educators,

volunteers, and community and

business leaders, have participated in

the DOC project, offering subjects such

as computer applications, the arts and

sciences, English, and the building

trades. During FY 2004, the program

enrolled 4,155 students, more than 90

percent of whom were high school

dropouts under the age of 21 and more

than 45 percent of whom had prior

special education histories. The program

graduated 106 students with high school

diplomas—a 10 percent increase over

the previous year—and 16 students with

GED certificates.

Information Sharing

Effective information sharing requires a

comprehensive strategy that brings together

people, processes, and technology. BJA’s

Justice Information Sharing Policy Office was

established to help federal, state, tribal, and

local governments improve the safety and

security of communities through information

technology systems and standards.

Unprecedented advances in technology have

dramatically changed the way governments

do business so that nearly every decision has

an information technology implication. 

The ability to share information instantly,

effectively, and securely is the critical

prevention component that ensures all levels

of government are prepared to meet the

challenges of the future.

Many of BJA’s information­sharing initiatives

are funded through the Byrne Program.

Examples of initiatives funded through Byrne

are provided throughout this section. In

FY 2004, 44 states and territories allocated

a total of nearly $45.5 million for criminal

justice information systems to assist law

enforcement, prosecution, courts, and

correctional organizations, including $10.5

million for 145 criminal justice records

improvement projects.

Global Justice Information 

Sharing Initiative

OJP, through BJA, administers and facilitates the

activities of the DOJ Global Justice Information

Sharing Initiative (Global) and the Global Advisory

Committee (GAC). GAC’s mission is to improve the

administration of justice and help protect the public

by promoting practices and technologies for secure

justice information sharing. The committee advises

the U.S. Attorney General and OJP’s Assistant

Attorney General on ways to facilitate standardsbased electronic information exchange throughout

the justice and public safety communities. 

A consortium of 32 local, state, tribal, federal, and

international justice stakeholders, GAC provides a

truly universal perspective on law enforcement and

justice information sharing. GAC members

collaborate to address the policy, connectivity, and

jurisdictional issues that have challenged data

sharing in the past, forming working groups with

members and subject­matter experts to expand

GAC’s knowledge and capacity.

• A technology introduced in 1998,

eXtensible Markup Language (XML)

formats documents so that disparate

information systems can share data.

Advancing the ability of law

enforcement and justice agencies to

effectively—and securely—share

information, OJP continued promoting

the Global Justice

XML Data Model.

Today, more than 50

major justice

information­sharing

projects use the

Integrated Justice Information 

Systems Institute

In 1999, OJP invited key information technology

companies that had experience servicing local, state,

and federal agencies in the law enforcement and

criminal justice arenas to form the Integrated Justice

Industry Working Group (IWG). The charter for IWG

was to expedite and promote the implementation of

integrated justice information systems nationwide 

by applying the cutting­edge knowledge of the

information technology industry. The Integrated

Justice Information Systems (IJIS) Institute provides

training, education, and assistance to local and state

agencies on justice information­sharing issues. IWG

members now represent more than 120 companies

that are the most active information technology

providers to justice organizations. More than 45 of

these companies have become members of the IJIS

Institute. To fulfill its mission, the IJIS Institute,

funded through Byrne, provides short­term technical

assistance to agencies with experts from its extensive

network of member companies.

Law Enforcement Information

Technology Standards Council

Using Byrne Discretionary Grant Program funding,

the Law Enforcement Information Technology

Standards Council (LEITSC) was formed in 2002 to

foster the strategic development of integrated justice

systems by defining and implementing standards.

LEITSC comprises representatives from the National

Sheriffs’ Association, Police Executive Research

Forum, National Organization of Black Law

Enforcement Executives, and International

Association of Chiefs of Police, which administers the

BJA grant. The council’s mission is to represent the

law enforcement community in the development of

information technology standards and to provide law

enforcement with information on standards that

directly affect them.

• In FY 2004, LEITSC focused on

developing a national functional

standard2 for law enforcement’s

Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and

Records Management Systems (RMS).

Due out by fall 2005, the LEITSC

functional requirements for law

enforcement CAD and RMS will serve

as the standard platform from which

law enforcement agencies can build

systems that are able to communicate,

regardless of jurisdictional boundaries. 

• An immediate, positive outcome of 

this project was the collaboration

between law enforcement and justice

information­sharing systems vendors.

Law enforcement chiefs, sheriffs,

information technology commanders,

and street officers met with

representatives from the vendor

community to communicate their 

true business needs to benefit law

enforcement agencies nationwide.

• The council, through its participating

associations, provided training to nearly

2,000 law enforcement professionals at

association conferences and meetings

nationwide. LEITSC also has written

articles for various law enforcement

journals with readerships topping 30,000

to keep the law enforcement community

apprised of developing standards.

National Association of State 

Chief Information Officers

The National Association of State Chief Information

Officers (NASCIO) uses BJA Byrne discretionary

funds to foster government excellence through

quality business practices, information management,

and technology policy. NASCIO represents state chief

information officers and information resource

executives and managers from the 50 states, U.S.

territories, and the District of Columbia. Enterprise

architecture has been adopted as the critical business

model for delivering better government. This scope

includes an understanding of environmental

• Alaska had a 6­month backlog of 17,000

citations, totaling nearly $1 million

awaiting default judgment at court. The

citation handling process required that

each citation be manually entered in

three different locations: the Anchorage

SEARCH—The National Consortium for

Justice Information and Statistics

Justice system officials need information to make the

best decisions for the safety of their communities.

Paper­based processes cannot always deliver

information to meet or support the needs of today’s

justice system. Integrated justice information­sharing

systems ensure complete, accurate, and timely

information where and when needed. Planning for

such systems, BJA, through Byrne, supports training

and technical assistance programs provided by

SEARCH—The National Consortium for Justice

Information and Statistics. Since 1969, SEARCH’s

primary objective has been to identify and solve the

information management problems of agencies that

need to exchange data with other local and state

agencies, agencies in other states, and the federal

government.

citation electronically from the law

enforcement system to the court’s and

repository’s systems. Once created, it

instantly eliminated redundant data

entry and the entire 6­month backlog.

Now default judgments are processed

immediately, which increases the

amount of money collected and helps

ensure compliance with the law.

National Criminal Intelligence 

Sharing Plan

The National Criminal Intelligence Sharing Plan

(NCISP), the first of its kind in the country, provides

a blueprint to help agencies establish criminal

intelligence­sharing policies, procedures, standards,

technologies, and training. The plan contains 28

recommendations and action items for sharing data

and addressing security, policy, and procedure

models for administrators and technology

architecture for sharing sensitive, unclassified

information. The plan was assembled with input and

cooperation from local, state, tribal, and federal law

enforcement agencies through the Global Justice

Information Sharing Initiative and has been 

endorsed by numerous national law enforcement

organizations. 

• In May 2004, the Criminal Intelligence

Coordinating Council (CICC) was

established to support implementation

and refinement of the plan. The 19­

member CICC serves as the voice for

local, state, and tribal law enforcement

agencies on intelligence issues.

• The Global Intelligence Working Group

(GIWG) has collaborated with 

DOJ’s Counter­Terrorism Training

Coordination Working Group to develop

minimum training standards for the six

training classifications outlined in

NCISP.

• In addition to developing training

standards, CICC and GIWG facilitated

the development of curriculum for

executive­level training. To expand the

reach of NCISP, OJP will support the

development of a toolbox to identify

analytical products for law enforcement

agencies to maximize intelligencegathering resources.

Regional Information Sharing Systems

The Regional Information Sharing Systems (RISS)

Program is a nationwide communications and

information­sharing network that serves more than

7,000 law enforcement member agencies and nearly

60,000 RISS access officers from the 50 states, the

District of Columbia, U.S. territories, Canada,

Australia, and England. The six RISS Centers operate

in multistate geographic regions, with each center

tailoring support services to the investigative and

prosecutorial needs of its member agencies. The

centers also provide services and products that are

national in scope and significance. Traditionally, RISS

has provided information­sharing services in the

form of criminal intelligence, investigative support,

specialized equipment loans, and technical

assistance. Through Internet technology, RISS has a

secure, private intranet (riss.net) connecting its six

centers, participating law enforcement agencies, and

member agency systems.

• While RISS continues to provide critical

services to its members, the program is

expanding its secure informationsharing and communications services to

address the emerging needs of law

enforcement and public safety officials

in the fight against terrorism. For

example, in response to the need for

greater information sharing among 

local, state, and federal law enforcement

agencies, RISS and the FBI’s Law

Enforcement Online (LEO)3 became

interconnected, providing a conduit for

distributing sensitive, unclassified

homeland security information to 

all RISS and LEO users. With this

connection, vetted and authorized 

users can access both systems through 

a single logon. Secure e­mail also is

available to users of both systems for

communication and information

sharing.

• RISS ATIX was

used by various

law enforcement

agencies to plan for

the security and

information

exchange required for the G8 Summit in

June 2004 at Sea Island, Georgia. The G8

Intelligence Group, composed of the FBI,

articles, featured documents, a search U.S. Secret Service, Georgia Bureau of

dissemination of sensitive information

during the meeting. In response, RISS

personnel provided a demonstration of

the RISS ATIX capabilities to the G8

Intelligence Group, and RISS ATIX was

ultimately selected as the official means

for communication for the summit.

• The Multistate Anti­Terrorism

Information Exchange (MATRIX) pilot

project is an effort to increase and

enhance the exchange of

sensitive information about

terrorism and other criminal

activity among law enforcement

agencies at the local, state, and federal

levels. The MATRIX pilot project uses 

a computer application—the Factual

Analysis Criminal Threat Solution—to

allow law enforcement investigators 

to retrieve, analyze, and compare

information from multiple commercial,

public, and law enforcement

information sources through a single

query.

• Many criminal investigations have

benefited from the use of MATRIX. In

Florida, a law enforcement analyst heard

about a road­rage incident on a nearby

interstate. The suspect description was

given as a white male in a gray or silver

vehicle (the specific make of the car 

was provided), and only the first three

characters of the tag were identified.

MATRIX ran a specialized search with

the first three characters of the tag and

the color and make of the vehicle and

provided a list of matches to the

investigative team. Two days later, the

investigator on the case called to thank

the analyst: the suspect had been

identified as one of the individuals on

the list.

Notes

1. The unit is called the Gray Squad because it

deals with issues that are neither black nor

white.

2. A functional standard is a formal document

that defines the lines of business and business

practices of a given justice community. It is 

a detailed mapping from which systems

developers can build information systems. For

example, a functional standard for a court

arraignment would define the processes that

take place and the data exchanged during the

arraignment.

3. LEO is a national interactive computer

communications system and information

service designed exclusively for the law

enforcement community. The user­friendly

service can be accessed by any approved

employee of a duly constituted local, state, or

federal law enforcement agency or approved

member of an authorized law enforcement

special­interest group.
