On October 1/ 1975, the counci I was expanded in size and redesignated the Utah Council on Criminal Justice Administration (UCCJA). The act states that crime is essentially a local problem and that the federal govern­ ment should support, but not supplant, local responsi bi I ities f0r law enforcement. The act is based on the premise that comprehensive planning, focused on state and local evaluation of law-enforcement and criminal-justice pl"oblems, can result in preventing and controlling crime, increasing public safety, and effectively using federal and local funds. The program is managed through the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA), established within the United States Depart- rrM~nt of Justic,e. The Omnibus Crime Control Act, as administered in Utah by the Council on Criminal Justice Administration, assists state and local governments in improving and I strengthening criminal-justice programs. Assistance is provided in the form of planning and action grants. ' Planning grants are provided to the seven local associations of governments to develop multi-county (district) plans that are illcorporated into a statewide plan. OVel' $450,000 is spent annu~lIy for planning programs at the district and state levels. Action grants consist of money granted to state and local units of government to help finance projects which will improve certain aspects of the criminal-justice system. Approximately $4 million is spent each year for action projects. Since 1969, The Omnibus Act has brought over $20 million to Utah for planning and implementation of programs to improve the aiminal-justice system. These monies have been allocated in acc::ordance with annually developed comprehensive statewide plans. These plans are based on local criminal-justice plans, analysis of system operations and crime problems, state and local agency needs and capabilities, and the progress of past planning efforts. I .,I tounci I The UCCJA was established by executive order in 1968. Since that time, the federa I I enabling legislation and the state executive order have been amended several times, f , ! ·1 ~- 2 -3- /> FIGURE 1: responsibilities of the UCCJA have increas~d, and the funds administered have UTl~.H COUNCIL ON CRIMINAL JUSTICE ADMINISTRATION grown substantially.
