BJS FY 11 Law Enforcement Agency Identifiers Crosswalk

The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) seeks to establish a cooperative agreement with a vendor to create a database that captures a wide range of identifying geographic, descriptive and statistical data on the universe of state and local law enforcement agencies and the communities they serve. This file will enhance BJS' and other researchers' capabilities to perform agency-level analyses (e.g., the annual allocation calculations for the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program). BJS is authorized to issue this solicitation under 42 U.S.C. § 3732(c).
