Summary

Amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to authorize the Attorney General to make grants to units of State and local government and public and private entities to increase police presence, expand and improve cooperative efforts between law enforcement agencies (LEAs) and members of the community to address crime and disorder problems, and otherwise enhance public safety. Authorizes the use of such grants for programs, projects, and other activities to: (1) rehire law enforcement officers who have been laid off as a result of State and local budget reductions for deployment in community-oriented policing; (2) hire and train new, additional career law enforcement officers for deployment in community-oriented policing across the nation; (3) increase the number of law enforcement officers interacting with community members on proactive crime control and prevention by redeploying officers to such activities; (4) provide specialized training to law enforcement officers to enhance skills needed to work in partnership with the community; (5) develop new technologies to assist State and local LEAs in reorienting the emphasis of their activities from reacting to crime to preventing crime; (6) establish innovative programs to reduce the amount of time that law enforcement officers must be away from the community while awaiting court appearances; and (7) develop and establish new administrative and managerial systems to facilitate the adoption of community-oriented policing as an organization-wide philosophy. Authorizes the Attorney General to: (1) give preference to grants for hiring and rehiring additional career law enforcement officers that involve a non-Federal contribution exceeding the 25 percent minimum under this Act; (2) provide certain technical assistance to units of State and local government and to public and private entities; and (3) utilize any office or service of the Department of Justice in carrying out this Act. Sets forth provisions regarding: (1) application requirements; (2) the review of applications by a designated State office; (3) grant renewal; (4) limitations on the use of funds; (5) performance evaluation; (6) revocation or suspension of funding; and (7) access by the Attorney General and the Comptroller General to documents of grant recipients for auditing purposes. Authorizes appropriations.
