category. The funds will then be

awarded in descending order until the

funding available in each category is

exhausted.

Criteria and Points

Each application will be evaluated

and scored on the basis of the following

criteria: (1) Juvenile crime statistics—50

points; (2) Percentage of middle school

students proposed to be taught and have

been taught—20 points; (3) Percentage

of elementary school students proposed

to be taught—5 points; (4) Agency

commitment—15 points; (5) Other—10

points.

Criterion 1 (Juvenile Crime Statistics).

There are two application categories for

Criterion 1, 1:A and 1:B. The categories

distinguish between applicants who

have participated in the G.R.E.A.T.

Program or any other school-based

prevention program (such as D.A.R.E.)

and those who have not. Applicants

who have not participated in the

G.R.E.A.T. Program or any other schoolbased prevention program must apply

using Criterion 1:A. Applicants who

have completed a year or more of the

G.R.E.A.T. Program or any other schoolbased prevention program, have a

choice of applying under Criterion 1:A

or 1:B. The maximum value for

Criterion 1 will be 50 points.

1:A. Criterion 1:A is designed to

measure the magnitude of an applicant’s

youth crime problem. This criterion will

utilize the Uniform Crime Reports

(UCR) for the United States that are

published annually by the Federal

Bureau of Investigations (FBI). The total

juvenile crime figures that will be used

are the Part I and II offenses reported in

the most recent UCR. The Part I and II

offenses that are reported in the UCR are

enumerated and defined in Appendix II

of the UCR. In the event that an

applicant does not provide annual data

to the FBI for purposes of the UCR, the

applicant should contact the G.R.E.A.T.

Branch to determine how it can best

submit information to measure its youth

crime statistics. ATF will obtain the

juvenile crime figures directly from the

FBI. An applicant must indicate which

service area (i.e., city, county, etc.) ATF

should use to obtain their juvenile crime

figures. An applicant will receive a

score based on its total juvenile crime

figures, as reported by the most recent

UCR. Scores will be calculated by

dividing the applicant’s reported

population into the total juvenile crime

figures reported in the most recent UCR.

1:B. Criterion 1:B is designed to

measure a change in an applicant’s

youth crime problem since using

G.R.E.A.T. or other school-based

prevention programs. This criterion will

also utilize the UCR, as outlined in

criterion 1:A. An applicant must

indicate which service area (i.e., city,

county, etc.) ATF should use to obtain

their juvenile crime figures. An

applicant will receive a score based on

a comparison of its total juvenile crime

figures, as reported by the UCR that

immediately preceded the applicant’s

initial participation in the G.R.E.A.T.

Program or other school-based

prevention program to the most recent

UCR. Scores will be calculated by the

percentage of decrease in the juvenile

crime figures revealed by the most

recent UCR.

Criterion 2. This criterion will

measure middle school participation

and consists of two sections, Section A

and Section B.

Section A. An applicant will receive

points based on the percentage of

middle school students proposed to be

taught G.R.E.A.T. compared to the total

population of middle school students in

the jurisdiction. The maximum value for

this criterion will be 10 points.

Section B. An applicant will receive

points based on the percentage of

middle school students that were taught

G.R.E.A.T. in the last school year

compared to last year’s total population

of middle school students. The

maximum value for this criterion will be

10 points.

Criterion 3. This criterion will

measure elementary school

participation. An applicant will receive

points based on the percentage of

elementary school students proposed to

be taught G.R.E.A.T. compared to the

total population of elementary school

students in the jurisdiction. The

maximum value for this criterion will be

5 points (the point value is limited to 5

points because the current focus of the

G.R.E.A.T. Program is for middle

school-aged children).

Criterion 4. This criterion will

measure the applicant’s commitment to

the G.R.E.A.T. Program and consists of

two sections, Section A and Section B.

Section A. This section will compare

the total officer staff-hours currently

spent teaching the G.R.E.A.T. Program

(to include classroom time, preparation,

parent programs, and the summer

component) in relation to the

applicant’s total full-time, officer staff.

The total value for this section shall be

10 points.

Section B. This section will be

weighed according to the applicant’s

plans to create or expand its current

program. An applicant will estimate the

total additional staff-hours that it plans

to spend on the program in the next

fiscal year through training additional

officers, devoting additional staff-hours

using existing G.R.E.A.T. officers, or

both. The total planned increase in staffhours will be scored to a maximum of

5 points.

Criterion 5. This criterion will be used

to measure other relevant factors. For

this criterion, a maximum of 10 points

will be awarded for meeting one or more

of the following: (1) The applicant has

developed and demonstrated a model

for a parent program, summer program,

after-school program, or community

partnership; (2) The applicant has

demonstrated support of the National

G.R.E.A.T. Program, National Training

Team, seminars, or workshops; (3) The

applicant has previously expressed and

documented an interest in funding

support; or (4) The applicant can

demonstrate a geographic significance

for the expansion of the G.R.E.A.T.

Program in its area.

Tiebreaker

Because all available funds are to be

distributed in descending order until

exhausted, the potential exists for a

value point tie for communities

competing for the last remaining funds.

In order to distribute funds fairly, tied

agencies will be ranked according to

their total scores from Criterion I.
