Description
OJP is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights and racial equity, increases access to justice, supports crime victims and individuals impacted by the justice system, strengthens community safety and protects the public from crime and evolving threats, and builds trust between law enforcement and the community.
With this solicitation, BJS seeks to collect data on persons who died in the custody of federal law enforcement (LE) agencies in FY 22 and FY 23, building upon BJS’s existing efforts. The data collection is a multimode system that includes a web-based interface, which...
allows federal LE agencies to identify all deaths that are arrest related or that occur in detention or incarceration facilities.
