| Consistent with the Government Performance and Results Act, the 2005 budget proposes to streamline the decision unit structure of DOJ components to align more closely with the mission and strategic objectives contained in the DOJ Strategic Plan (2003-2008). In addition, the budget has been realigned to reflect each component's outputs and full costs by major program activity, including the costs of management and administration, so that a more accurate picture of total activity costs is reflected in the budget. In this way, budget and performance are more closely linked, and provide a better basis on which to make budget decisions. Over time, agencies will be expected to identify effective outcome measures, monitor their progress, and accurately present the associated costs. | |||||||||||||

| 4. Community Crime Prevention Efforts Program | 0 | 0 | -$386,231 | ||||||||||
| 1. Tribal Law Enforcement | 0 | 0 | -4,739 | ||||||||||
| The 2005 budget proposes a total funding level of $20,000,000 for this program. The COPS Tribal Law Enforcement Program offers tribal law enforcement agencies the ability to hire tribal law enforcement officers, purchase equipment, and provide training to new and existing tribal law enforcement personnel. | |||||||||||||
| 2. COPS Hiring Programs | 0 | 0 | -118,748 | ||||||||||
| The 2005 budget eliminates funding for this program to address other priority areas. The objective of funding 100,000 officers was met, and, by the end of FY 2003, COPS grants had funded more than 118,500 officers. | |||||||||||||
| 3. COPS Technology Grants | 0 | 0 | -156,754 | ||||||||||
| This decrease eliminates funding for this program, which was completely earmarked in the 2004 omnibus appropriations bill. | |||||||||||||

| The 2005 budget proposes to eliminate all funding for this program except for $1,550,000 for the Department's contribution to the Department of Homeland Security's Project SAFECOM.

| 7. COPS Training and Technical Assistance Program/Community Policing Development | 17,625 | ||||||||||||
| The requested increase will more than triple the funding level for this program compared to the 2004 omnibus bill. This program supports the adoption and advancement of community policing practices through training, technical assistance, applied research, and evaluation initiatives that address the existing and emerging priorities of the law enforcement community. It also supports the national network of Regional Community Policing Institutes (RCPIs), which make up the only national network to develop and disseminate innovative community policing training and technical assistance to law enforcement, local government officials, and community members. This program also supports the advancement of community policing strategies through the national training delivery system provided by the Community Policing Consortium. | |||||||||||||
| 8. Police Integrity | 104 | ||||||||||||
| This modest increase will provide a total funding level of $10,000,000 for this program. The Police Integrity Program funds initiatives that create new and expand on existing strategies to enhance community trust by delivering training and technical assistance to local communities and continuing to support best practices, national training curricula, model partnerships, and technology. The goal of the Police Integrity Program is to assist agencies in creating or strengthening local programs that build trust between police and the communities they serve. | |||||||||||||
| 9. Management and Administration | -3,118 | ||||||||||||
| Administrative funding has been reduced by $2,665,000, consistent with the proposal to eliminate funding for COPS hiring programs. An additional reduction of $104,000 is included as COPS' share of the partial absorption of the annualization of the 2004 pay raise. | |||||||||||||

| Program Realignment | ||||||
| Consistent with the Government Performance and Results Act, the 2005 budget proposes to streamline the decision unit structure of DOJ components to align more closely with the mission and strategic objectives contained in the DOJ Strategic Plan (FY 2003-2008). In addition, the budget has been realigned to reflect each component's outputs and full costs by major program activity, including the costs of management and administration, so that a more accurate picture of total activity costs is reflected in the budget. In this way, budget and performance are more closely linked, and provide a better basis on which to make budget decisions. Over time, agencies will be expected to identify effective outcome measures, monitor their progress, and accurately present the associated costs. | ||||||
| As part of its effort to realign resources to the DOJ Strategic Plan, the 2005 budget proposes to consolidate funding for programs administered by the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) into OJP's Justice Assistance account. | ||||||
