BJA has very limited discretionary money available. Most BJA funds are awarded through BJA formula programs. Byrne Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program funds are awarded directly to state and local governments. For more information on how a state intends to distribute formula grant funds, contact the appropriate State Administering Agency (SAA).

In addition, the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) offers funding to advance community policing services. Visit the COPS Current Funding Opportunities page for a list of grant programs.
