Terrorism & Domestic Preparedness
Under President Bush's leadership, the U.S. Attorney General has, since September 11, 2001, made building the capacity to prevent and respond to terrorist attacks a top priority. State and local agencies are drawing on resources to address their needs from a number of sources, including several OJP-administered grant programs. OJP resources that can be used by state and local jurisdictions to prepare and respond to domestic terrorism are available primarily through the Bureau of Justice Assistance, National Institute of Justice, and Office for Victims of Crime. Also, the Bureau of Justice Statistics collects and analyzes statistical data and provides financial and technical support to state governments in developing state capabilities in criminal justice statistics and record systems.
