provision of overtime resulting in the redeployment of law enforcement

states that grants for equipment, technology, and support systems may 
not be awarded in FY 1998-2000 unless the Attorney General has 
certified that grants awarded in fiscal years 1995-1997 have resulted 
in an increase in the number of officers deployed in community 
policing. the survey in consideration covers all areas necessary to 
determine the effectiveness of COPS MORE '95 in meeting the above 
criteria.
