Summary

Programs and projects paid for under this law must have monitoring systems set up by rules the Attorney General creates. The monitoring must collect ongoing information about what the program does and what it achieves, and keep that information in a usable form. Some grant recipients will also be evaluated locally or as part of a national review under those rules. Evaluations can check how a program is run and, where possible, test whether it works. Outcome checks may look at crime and victim numbers, quality of life, community views, and police views of their work. The Attorney General can require recipients to send in their monitoring and evaluation results and any other data the Attorney General reasonably needs.
