Indian Law Enforcement — CFDA 15.030

Indian law-enforcement obligations at $1.54 billion

USAspending.gov records $1,538,117,917.25 in obligations under CFDA 15.030. Two hundred sixty-four awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $5.83 million per award — consistent with tribal public-safety awards rather than a small equipment grant. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical department budget or a per-officer cost.

The assistance-listing title is INDIAN LAW ENFORCEMENT. CFDA 15.030 is the identifier. Other Interior public-safety or BIA listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $1.54 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined tribal-justice total this packet does not contain.

126 recipients across 29 states

One hundred twenty-six recipients share 264 awards, or about 2.1 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $1.54 billion evenly would assign about $12.21 million per recipient. That pattern is a tribal-government roster with a few repeat rows per named organization. The packet does not list the 126. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of officers or courts.

Twenty-nine states in the geographic count leave a visibly incomplete map. Indian law-enforcement dollars follow where those governments are coded, not population. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

One hundred twenty-six recipients in 29 states is tribal public-safety geography, not a 50-state municipal police roster. About 2.1 award records per recipient fits multi-year public-safety awards. The $1,538,117,917.25 obligation stock is not a sworn-FTE census, not an incident log, and not a COPS (16.710) rollup. BIA detention and tribal-court listings use other codes unless they share 15.030. Quote 264 as assistance rows, 126 as named organizations, and 29 as the coded state count.

Award count is not an officer count

Among Interior assistance listings, 15.030 is a mid-volume file: 264 rows against 126 recipients. Annual public-safety rows and amendments can inflate award count relative to unique governments. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of officers.” Recipients (126) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (264) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report sworn FTEs, incidents, or detention beds. Citing 264 as officers would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus payment outlays

The $1.54 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Indian law-enforcement awards — are not in the packet. A tribal government can show a large obligation stock while a draw follows a later fiscal period. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 15.030 to size this Indian Law Enforcement listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as COPS, Byrne JAG, or FBI dashboard. Those series live on other codes. This page reports the obligation book tagged 15.030.

What the 15.030 tables omit

The Indian Law Enforcement hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a hiring roster, not an incident log, and not a court-caseload file. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $1,538,117,917.25. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 264 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 29 states is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already spent on public safety.

Where the 15.030 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 15.030 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other Interior listings. For 15.030 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 15.030’s 264 awards spread $1,538,117,917.25 across 126 recipients and 29 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 2.1 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards. One hundred twenty-six recipients remain the organizational headcount on this extract.
