As the State Administering Agency for federal justice and homeland security grant funds, the Wisconsin Office of Justice Assistance develops statewide strategies, determines funding priorities, and advises Governor Doyle on public safety and domestic preparedness policy.

Since January 2003, we have administered over $200 million and awarded over 1,900 grants to local units of government, state agencies, tribal governments and non-profit organizations. Grant recipients used these funds to develop and implement innovative approaches for reducing crime and assisting crime victims, preparing and responding to acts of terrorism, and improving public safety radio communications and information sharing among first responders and public safety agencies.

On this site, you'll find detailed information about our programs and special initiatives, current funding opportunities, and a wide variety of OJA publications, including the annual Crime and Arrest Reports dating back to 1969. You can also apply for grants online using our Egrants program, register for specialized training in your area, or sign up to receive email alerts about new grants and initiatives.

Thank you for visiting OJA and we hope to see you here again soon.
