Ninety-three U.S. Attorneys serve 94 judicial districts (the same U.S. Attorney serves the District of Guam and the District of the Northern Mariana Islands) under the direction of the Attorney General. Among other things, the Attorney General expects U.S. Attorneys to lead or be involved with the community in preventing and controlling crime including efforts to secure Department of Justice (DOJ) grant funds and work with grantees. This report provides information about the guidance U.S. Attorneys are given in carrying out their responsibilities with regard to DOJ grants. It makes recommendations to assess compliance with guidance and to reduce the potential for conflicts of interest. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-733/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-733.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-733/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-733.pdf GAO-03-733 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-733 Other Written Product GAO-03-733; U.S. Attorneys: Controls Over Grant-Related Activities Should Be Enhanced; Federal grants Crime prevention Grant administration Conflict of interests Grant monitoring DOJ Operation Weed and Seed Program DOJ Project Safe Neighborhoods Title 28 Section 547 28 U.S.C. 547 Title 31 Section 3512 31 U.S.C. 3512 Public Law 106-553
