Both discretionary and formula grant funds may be used to implement programs that carry out any of
the following 29 legislatively authorized purposes:

enforcement agencies and prosecutors for the purpose of enhancing interagency coordination
and intelligence and facilitating multijurisdictional investigations.

- Community and neighborhood programs to assist citizens in preventing and controlling crime, including special programs that address crimes committed against the elderly and special programs in rural jurisdictions.

of drug offenses and other serious crimes.
