Eligible jurisdictions include the county governments and the fourteen state governments in Alaska, Idaho, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin.

A county or state in Alaska, Idaho, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin may participate if it prosecuted or detained a defendant in a federally initiated and referred criminal case disposed of during any one of the eligible reporting periods.

|
|
While reimbursements from NBPI federal payments may be used by applicant jurisdictions for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by federal law, using funds for the support and enhancement of additional prosecutorial and detention services is encouraged.
|
|
| Eligible county and state governments register and
apply on-line through this Internet site. Once an award has been made for
an applicant jurisdiction the jurisdiction may request payment through their
on-line account. Awards will be deposited directly to the jurisdiction's bank
account once the payment request has been approved by the BJA. All electronic
transactions and information are secure, using the latest Internet encryption
technology. |
