I Researched and prepared by: The Criminal Justice/Law Enforcement Program staff and members of the I Statistical Analysis Center - Missouri State Highway Patrol Submitted to the Bureau of Justice Assistance I November I, 2002 I I I I I i I g I i I I i I I I I i I I I g I I Executive Summary I In 1987, the Missouri Department of Public Safety initiated an administrative section within the Office of the Director, whose primary responsibility was to oversee and coordinate the dissernination of federal funding awards made to Missouri. This administrative section was implemented and titled as the Criminal Justice/Law Enforcement Program (formerly known as the Narcotics Control Assistance Program or NCAP) in response to the establishment I of the federal Edward Byrne Memorial State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance Formula Grant Program (Byrne Formula Grant Program) authorized by Title 1 of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 3711 et seq. Additionally, the furtherance of the overall mission of the Missouri Department of Public I Safety, as defined in Chapter 650 of the Missouri Revised Statutes, became and continues to be the directive for the Criminal Justice/Law Enforcement Program. That mission is to provide a safe and secure environment for all individuals, through efficient and effective law enforcement. I Throughout the years, the Missouri Department of Public Safety, through the Criminal Justice/Law Enforcement Program, has been involved in an on-going effort to identify the criminal justice needs of state and local government. As a result of this process, the Criminal Justice/Law Enforcement Program has provided the financial I and teclmical assistance required to initiate state and local level responses to crime and drug related issues. This response, which parallels tile established objectives of the Byrne program as outlined by the U.S. Department of Justice - Office of Justice Programs, is the foundation for project initiatives within Missouri. It remains the priority of the Criminal Justice/Law Enforcement Program to identi~, state and local initiatives which assist the state of I Missouri in the enforcement of drug control or controlled substance laws, initiatives which emphasize the prevention and control of violent crime and serious offenders, and initiatives which improve tile effectiveness of the state and I local criminal justice system. In compliance with section 522(a) of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act, the Criminal Justice/Law Enforcement Program 2002 Byrne State Annual Report (SAR), will outline the impact of Byrne Program funding on tile criminal justice system within the jurisdictions of state and local government. During the reporting period I covered in this annual report, July I, 2001 through June 30, 2002, the Criminal Justice/Law Enforcement Program provided funding assistance in 10 of the 29 authorized purpose areas. Tile total monetary award for this reporting period was $8,190,659.68, for which the Criminal Justice/Law Enforcement Program was able to provide financial I assistance to 60 state and local level projects. This level of funding provided financial assistance to 4 Demand Reduction Education Programs (DARE 501(I)), 27 Multi-Jurisdictional Task Force programs (501 2)), 8 Community Oriented Policin~Prevention projects (501(4)), 5 i Court Delay Reduction projects (501(10)). I Intensive Supervision/Probation and Parole project (501 (I I)), 4 Criminal LaboratoD' Upgrade projects (501 (15a)), 5 Criminal Records Improvement Programs (501 (15b)), 2 hmovative Programs (501 (16)), 2 Child Abuse and Neglect Investigation Programs (501(27)), and 2 Administrative i awards. The total funds expended during this reporting period represents grant awards utilizing Byrne Program money from fiscal years 1999, 2000 and 2001. The Missouri Department of Public Sal'ety-Criminal Justice/Law Enlbrcement Program continues to be an essential I component of the statewide effort to address violent crime and drugs. Through the Byrne Program, Missouri has the financial capability to maintain essential projects that provide needed services for the criminal justice community. Beside the initiatives previously described, the Criminal Justice/Law Enforcement Program places an equally high I priority on tile development and continuation of projects and partnerships that enhance a state, or local unit of government's ability to implement aggressive responses to the public safety needs of their respective service areas. The Criminal Justice/Law Enforcement Program strives to implement progressive demand reduction, community, multi-jurisdictional, judicial, correctional, analytical and intbrmational-based response strategies to the public safety I threats of crime and drugs.
