Effective Use of Federal Funds for Law Enforcement

A summary was compiled of GAO completed and ongoing work bearing on efforts to promote more effective use of the limited federal funds for law enforcement. No single GAO report provides a basis for making recommendations which affect the entire federal law-enforcement structure. These reports have provided information on a function or activity performed by a single agency, information concerning specific improvements which can be made in one or more aspects of an agency's operations, and comparative studies of a governmentwide nature.
