Summary

The Attorney General must make sure grant money is shared fairly among the States and between urban and rural areas, including inside each State. Each year the Attorney General may give grants up to $100,000 to a State or local law enforcement agency or up to $250,000 to a law enforcement organization. Grants can last no more than 5 years. If an agency asks to continue a grant in years 2–5, the Attorney General will check its progress and can stop funding if goals are not being met, but must give notice and a chance to be reconsidered. No more than 5% of a grant’s funds can be used for administrative costs.
