The Bureau of Justice Statistics is your “go to location” for key facts about the field of justice, data collections, data analysis tools, terms,and definitions. It also holds a repository of publications and products which can offer guidance in grant development. These publications may offer justification for why you are approaching a grant project thus validating that your department is up-to-date with the law enforcement industry standards and practices. The data analysis tools are robust and dynamic and can assist with locating the data needed for your grant needs assessment. You can also use the tools to compare your data with national and state data. These tools can save you valuable time in doing the research needed for your grant.
