Byrne Grant Funding and Funding Available for the Adam Walsh Act for 2009-2010

3-8-2010 National:

What follows are the bills passed by the 111th Congress which appropriated money for the Byrne Grant Fund. In total $2,775,000,000 for the years 2009-2010. How it is determined what portion goes for each state is unknown to me, but 2.775 billion has been made available through the following bills.

Further, a review of the following bills will also show that, there are funds available for use by the Adam Walsh Act. Now while Congress has not passed the SPECIFIC appropriations bill for the Adam Walsh Act (HR 1422) -which would fund it through 2014-, Congress has provided funding for it through other means.

One has to wonder why so many folks in Congress would allow the Adam Walsh Act (more specifically the SORNA portion) to continue when it has done nothing to PREVENT crime. TRACKING is not PREVENTION! Neither is manhandling of registrants through other failed ideas (Don't live here or there, don't go here or there, can't work here, or here, or here, tracking with GPS, restricting them on Halloween, excessive mandatory prison sentences, failing to give judges discretion with offenders, civil commitment with programs that have unrealistic goals (actually a pretext for perpetual incarceration), etc.)

Does anyone also wonder why Congress has ignored TREATMENT?

Allocations For 2009 Byrne Justice Assistance Grants Announced

5-27-2009 National:

WASHINGTON, May 26 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The U.S. Department of Justice today announced Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 allocations for state and local law enforcement assistance available through the 2009 Omnibus. Funding will be provided through the Edward Byrne Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program which is administered by the Office of Justice Programs' (OJP) Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). JAG allocation amounts for states, territories, and units of local government can be viewed HERE.


The FY 2009 Omnibus Appropriations Act includes more than $2 billion to assist state, local and tribal law enforcement and for other criminal justice activities that prevent and control crime and improve the criminal justice system in the United States. Specifically, $546 million was appropriated for the JAG Program and is in addition to the funding provided by the Recovery Act. Solicitations for applications may be found at: HERE -and- HERE Deadline for states to apply is June 25, 2009 and the local application deadline is July 9, 2009.

The JAG Program supports a variety of efforts such as multijurisdictional drug and gang task forces; equipment needs; crime prevention and domestic violence programs; and courts, corrections, treatment, and justice information sharing initiatives. The procedure for allocating JAG grants is based on a formula of population and crime statistics, in combination with a minimum allocation to ensure that each state and territory receives an appropriate share of funding. Sixty percent of the allocation is awarded directly to a state and 40 percent is set aside for local governments. Funding will be used by states and more than 5,000 local communities to enhance their ability to protect communities and combat crime.

The Office of Justice Programs, headed by Acting Assistant Attorney General Laurie O. Robinson, provides federal leadership in developing the nation's capacity to prevent and control crime, administer justice, and assist victims. OJP has five component bureaus: the Bureau of Justice Assistance; the Bureau of Justice Statistics; the National Institute of Justice; the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention; and the Office for Victims of Crime. Additionally, OJP has two program offices: the Community Capacity Development Office, which incorporates the Weed and Seed strategy, and the Office of Sex Offender Sentencing, Monitoring, Apprehending, Registering, and Tracking (SMART).

New Jersey Senators: Bush Budget Undermines Security in Garden State

2-7-2008 New Jersey:


First Responders, Security for Ports, Transit and Infrastructure Among Key Areas on Administration's Chopping Block
February 6, 2008 -- WASHINGTON – United States Senators Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ), both members of the Senate Budget Committee, today assailed President Bush’s Fiscal Year 2009 budget proposal for its drastic cuts in state and local homeland security funding that is critical to high-threat, high-population states like New Jersey. The Senators’ analysis of the homeland security portion of the president’s budget shows deep cuts in areas of homeland security that would disproportionately affect the Garden State, including first responders, ports, transit and infrastructure, as well as health assistance for 9/11 responders.

“With our concentrated population and miles of critical infrastructure, our state needs a much stronger investment in these security programs than this president is willing to make,” said Senator Menendez. “We have one of the busiest ports in the nation, we have major bridges, tunnels and highways, and we have first responders who may be called to respond to attacks not only here but potentially in New York as well – those are all areas that the president has put on the chopping block. We also have heroes of 9/11 who inhaled the toxic air around Ground Zero but are seeing a diminished commitment to their health by this administration. For a president who has consistently invoked the terrorist threats to justify a host of policies, these deep cuts represent a pre-9/11 mentality. And with al Qaeda allowed to regroup in a safe zone along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, these cuts make even less sense.”

“President Bush’s proposed budget would make New Jersey less secure – it’s that simple. New Jersey is home to the most dangerous two miles in America for terrorism, according to the FBI, and some of the nation’s busiest airports, seaports, rail lines and roadways. I will fight for sufficient homeland security funds for New Jersey’s first responders, transit systems and infrastructure. We must ensure homeland security funds are risk-based so we can better protect ourselves from a possible terrorist attack,” said Senator Lautenberg.

President Bush's proposed budget cuts homeland security funding to states and localities by $2 billion, from $4.2 billion to $2.2 billion – a 48% cut from this year’s funding. That includes a slashing of funding for port security grants in half and a cut of state homeland security grants by almost 80%.

Under the budget, the successful COPS program that has added nearly 5,000 police officers and sheriffs to New Jersey’s streets and sent more than $350 million to New Jersey would be eliminated. Eliminating COPS also means that $205 million Congress provided for critical law enforcement technologies and interoperable communications would be gone. In addition, the Byrne Justice Assistance Grants program, which support a wide range of law enforcement activities and help local law enforcement partner with state and federal agencies, would be eliminated. Last year, New Jersey received $2.5 million in Byrne Justice Assistance Grant funding and $554,000 in COPS funding.

Grants for firefighters, which provided New Jersey firefighters more than $11 million last year, would be cut by 60% and infrastructure protection spending would be slashed in half.

Furthermore, with an approximately 8,000 New Jersey residents who may require assistance for medical and health problems because of their work near the World Trade Center site after 9/11, the budget cuts funding for screening and treatment for first responders and others exposed to toxins at the World Trade Center by 77%.

The grossly inadequate Bush budget comes less than 6 months after the president signed a law implementing the remaining 9/11 Commission recommendations, which calls for much higher funding levels of key programs designed to give states and localities the tools to protect themselves from threats and future unforeseen attacks.

It also comes out just days after the Department of Homeland Security announced increased funding for transportation security grants in FY 2008 due to higher appropriation levels from Congress.

PRESIDENT BUSH’S FY2009 BUDGET:
UNDERMINING GARDEN STATE SECURITY

v Cuts Infrastructure Protection in Half. Despite the ongoing risks that our nation’s top targets face and the need to protect communities surrounding chemical plants, major airports, railways, and ports, the president’s budget for next year would cut funding for critical infrastructure in half, to $400 million from over $850 million.

v Backtracks on Funding for Our Nation’s Ports. This year marks the first year that our nation’s ports will receive the level of funding they say we need to make needed security improvements. Despite this important step, the president’s budget would cut port security grants for next year in half to $210 million. Last year, along with New York, New Jersey received more than $42 million in port security grants.

v Undermines Transit Security. The administration continues to undermine our nation’s public transit and rail security needs. After Congress dramatically increased funding to $400 million for this year to neglected security programs, the president’s budget would provide only $175 million, a 56% cut. New Jersey benefited from $98 million in federal transit funding with New York and Connecticut last year.

v Slashes Funding for 9/11 Health Monitoring. The budget cuts funding for screening and treatment for first responders and others exposed to toxins at the World Trade Center by 77%, from $109 million this year to $25 million. Some 8,000 New Jersey residents may require assistance for medical and health problems because of their work near the site.

v Makes Deep Cuts to Grants to States and First Responders. Once again, the Bush administration takes aim at federal funding that to our states and first responders. Homeland security grants to states that provide millions to our first responders would be cut by almost 80%. Last year, these grants were funded at $950 million. However, the president’s budget slashes their funding to only $300 million for next year. These grants are integral to New Jersey’s homeland security efforts and provided the state with $14 million last year alone.

v Eliminates Key Funding for Police Officers. The successful COPS program that has added nearly 5,000 police officers and sheriffs to New Jersey’s streets and sent more than $350 million to New Jersey is eliminated. Last year, the COPS program received $587 million, including $205 million for law enforcement technologies and interoperable communications. COPS provided New Jersey $554,000 last year. None of this funding would be available under the president’s budget.

v State and Local Law Enforcement Left Fending for Themselves. Funding for state and local law enforcement assistance, including Byrne Justice Assistance Grants, violent gang and crime reduction programs and offender reentry funding, is cut more than 55%, from $908 million to $404 million. New Jersey could lose over $6 million in funds that help our communities prevent crime and improve the criminal justice system.

v Cuts Back Funding to Firefighters. The budget would cut funding for firefighters by 60% and would eliminate grants that help fire departments provide overtime and hire new firefighters. More than 100 New Jersey fire departments received over $11.5 million in these grants last year.

v Eliminates Funding for Interoperable Communications. The budget eliminates dedicated funding for interoperable communications for state and local governments, a key element of the 9/11 Implementation Act. The administration has already delayed the distribution of these important funds; under this budget, they would receive almost nothing next year.

v Underfunds Urban Area Security Initiative. The budget calls for a less than 1% increase in the urban areas security grants, the only strictly risk-based homeland security program designed to help high-threat, urban areas be adequately prepared for and to respond to threats.

v Continues Controversial Security Funding Program to Trucking Industry Lobbyists. The president again proposes $8 million for the Highway Watch program, which is administered by trucking industry lobbyists as a training program to train truck drivers on anti-terrorism awareness. Last year, a DHS Inspector General audit requested by Senator Lautenberg found that more funding was spent by this lobbyist group on marketing and overhead than actually training truck drivers.

v Increases Tax on Airline Travelers. While the budget provides a $515 billion increase for the Pentagon, the president proposes multi-year tax increases on airline travelers. This year’s budget proposal would increase security fees paid by airline travelers by 20%, to $3.00, each time they board a plane (up to $6.00 per flight). ..more.. by Source: Senator Frank Lautenberg

Police fear effect of fed grant cuts

$600K grant pays for special program, patrol
2-4-2008 Florida:

Brevard County law enforcement agencies use nearly $600,000 from a federal grant to purchase new equipment, pay overtime for special patrols and fund a transport program that keeps officers patrolling neighborhoods.

But local authorities likely will see only a fraction of that money next year after funding was slashed for the often-used federal grant.

The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant program received about $168 million in the federal budget for fiscal year 2008 approved in late December -- only about one-third of the $519 million allocated in fiscal year 2007.

"It's almost unprecedented," said David Steingraber, president of the National Criminal Justice Association, a group supporting increased funding for the grant.

"You can't cut a program by two-thirds and expect it to continue at the same level."

Six agencies in Brevard County received $317,214 in Byrne JAG funding for fiscal year 2007 directly from the Department of Justice.

Dollars for fiscal year 2008's grant have not yet been awarded, so it's not clear how much agencies might receive.

Brevard County Sheriff's Office also received $262,901 from the $18.1 million allocated to Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

That money, plus $114,345 from the Department of Justice, funds vans that transport those arrested from police departments and sheriff's precincts to the county jail in Sharpes, sheriff's office budget manager Greg Pelham said.

The program, which is open to all local police departments, is designed to keep officers and deputies patrolling neighborhoods instead of driving to and from the jail, he said. That saves almost two hours for an officer or deputy coming from the southern end of the county.

To cope with the anticipated funding cut, Pelham said cities might be asked to pick up the tab or program officials could seek more money from the county.

With the passage of the property tax amendment making financial situations even tighter, "those two items are very unlikely," he said.

What's more likely to happen is a reduction in personnel and in operating hours for the program.

For other local agencies, the dollars pay for new equipment or fund additional patrols targeting anything from traffic to mid- and upper-level drug dealers.

Titusville police use the $36,130 to fund overtime for traffic enforcement as well as its career criminal and sex offender follow-up program, where officers make stops at offenders' homes to ensure they are living where they are registered and are following curfews.

"With the budget and tax reforms, it's been a lifesaver to get these initiatives done," Titusville Police Department administrative manager JoAnn Couey said.

With fewer dollars, the department will likely try to refine the programs to do the same work with less funding, she said.

In recent years, Palm Bay Police has used Byrne JAG money to purchase equipment such as Tasers, digital cameras and computers, the department's executive assistant Lynne Nungessern said. It also paid to equip a meeting room with the technology needed for its Coordinated Plan Response, a program that sends officers to patrol areas of the city based on crime statistics.

Its most recent grant of $51,118 was split between purchasing automated ticket writers and funding undercover operations combating drug sales.

Byrne JAG allows the department to keep up with ever-changing technology, Nungesser said. Fewer grant dollars means it may take longer to add new technology.

"It certainly has impact on the rate with which we improve our technology and safety equipment," she said.

While the grant accounts for less than 2 percent of the amount states and local governments spend on law enforcement, the money allows departments to fund new programs that prove to be invaluable, Steingraber said.

"It's the one place people can turn to try something new," he said.

For example, FDLE used Byrne JAG funding as seed money for Florida's Computer Crime Center, which targets everything from child solicitations and child pornography to fraud, banking scams and computer hacking. Lawmakers continued the funding after it became an established resource, FDLE director of external affairs Heather Smith said.

But FDLE is anticipating a
67 percent drop in its grant, which funds nearly 200 major programs in the state.

The agency will have to look for other possible grant sources, find creative solutions to provide the same services with less money or run them at lower levels.

"It's going to impair some of the public safety programs that are in place," Smith said. ..more.. by Cervenka at 360-1018 or scervenka@floridatoday.com.
