Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program — CFDA 16.738

Byrne JAG obligations at $1.53 billion

USAspending.gov records $1,530,476,384.09 in obligations under CFDA 16.738. Two thousand three hundred five awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $664,000 per award — consistent with formula and local JAG awards rather than a single statewide block. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical department budget or a per-officer amount.

The assistance-listing title is EDWARD BYRNE MEMORIAL JUSTICE ASSISTANCE GRANT PROGRAM. CFDA 16.738 is the identifier. Other DOJ COPS or discretionary justice listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $1.53 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined justice-grant total this packet does not contain.

1,197 recipients across 56 states

One thousand one hundred ninety-seven recipients share 2,305 awards, or about 1.9 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $1.53 billion evenly would assign about $1.28 million per recipient. That pattern is a broad state-and-local roster with roughly two award rows per named organization. The packet does not list the 1,197. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of officers or cases.

Fifty-six states in the geographic count is a near-complete map plus territories. Byrne JAG dollars in this extract follow that coded geography. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Two thousand three hundred five awards on 1,197 recipients is state-and-local JAG architecture: about 1.9 rows per named government. About $664,000 per award is formula-and-local scale. Fifty-six states in the geographic count is a near-complete map plus territories. The $1,530,476,384.09 obligation stock is not a crime-stats file, not a COPS (16.710) rollup, and not Crime Victim Assistance. Quote 2,305 as assistance rows and 1,197 as named organizations. Equipment inventories and prosecution counts are absent from the packet.

Award count is not a project count

Among Justice assistance listings, 16.738 is a high-volume file: 2,305 rows against 1,197 recipients. Annual formula rows and local awards can inflate award count relative to unique governments. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of crime-reduction projects.” Recipients (1,197) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (2,305) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report crime rates, prosecutions, or equipment inventories. Citing 2,305 as projects would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus payment outlays

The $1.53 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Byrne JAG awards — are not in the packet. A state or local agency can show a large obligation stock while a draw follows a later program year. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 16.738 to size this Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as COPS, Crime Victim Assistance, or FBI dashboard. Those series live on other codes. This page reports the obligation book tagged 16.738.

What the 16.738 tables omit

The Byrne JAG hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a crime-stats file, not a hiring roster, and not an equipment inventory. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $1,530,476,384.09. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 2,305 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 56 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 justice programs.

CFDA 16.738’s 2,305 awards spread $1,530,476,384.09 across 1,197 recipients and 56 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 1.9 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.
