Summary

Every program, project, or activity that gets funding must collect and track data about what it does and what it achieves. The tracking must follow guidelines the Attorney General sets and must present the information in a usable way. Some grant recipients will be evaluated locally or as part of a national review, using the Attorney General’s rules. Reviews can check how a program was run and, where possible, whether it worked. Outcome measures can include crime and victim reports, quality of life, community opinions, and police views of their work. The Attorney General can require recipients to send these monitoring and evaluation results and any other data needed.
