Edward Byrne Discretionary Grants
...
...
($94,489)
For FY 2003, the budget does not include funds for the Byrne Discretionary Grant Program, a reduction of $94,489,000.  The original purpose of this program, which was to give the Department discretionary funding for anti-drug activities, has not been possible in recent years due to the level of earmarking within this program, which has limited OJP's ability to address new and innovative criminal justice initiatives.  Traditionally, the discretionary grant program served as a vehicle to fund OJP and Administration initiatives in the area of state and local criminal justice improvements in topics ranging form gun safety, drug testing, alternatives to incarceration, and community-based justice.  In 2002, 100 percent of the discretionary program was earmarked.
