How are decisions made regarding which agencies receive funding?
There are five components to the fund allocation decision making process. 1.) The Grants Management Unit reviews all grant applications in regards to their eligibility and allowability under the Federal grant programs. 2.) The GMU also reviews all grant applications in regards to their alignment with the state-wide strategy as formulated mainly by the Interbranch Criminal and Juvenile Justice Council. The ICJJC is comprised of representatives from all areas of criminal justice and State government. 3.) The GMU and our Director of Administration make funding recommendations to the Attorney General. 4.) The Attorney General makes finalized funding requests to the Governor and Executive Council. 5.) The Governor and Executive Council have final approval on all grants.
