American Samoa Byrne State Crisis Intervention Program

The primary goal of the 2022 Byrne State Crisis Intervention Program is to provide federal grant funding assistance to the member agencies of the American Samoa Government which are providing core criminal justice services in support of drug control and system improvement projects. The Strategy is based on the provision of federal funding assistance to the criminal justice system service providers, not to supplant existing local funding resources, but to support additional and innovative efforts to prevent and combat crime wherever it seems to exist.  It is based on the provision of federal funding assistance to the criminal justice system providers, to help further criminal justice personnel services and visibility, professional development, technologically advanced equipment/mechanisms, systematic cooperation/cohesiveness and increased/aggressive suppression of crime and delinquency in American Samoa.
