Funding levels for Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 have been set, marking the end of a very long negotiation period and the continual passage of short-term spending resolutions to keep the U.S. government operating. The U.S. Congress passed the $1.012 trillion FY 2014 omnibus spending package the week of January 13, 2014, ensuring funding for the U.S. government through September 30, 2014. The omnibus bill includes funding for all 12 of the annual appropriations bills and adheres to the spending cap set by the December budget deal (Pub. L. 113-67).

Overall, funding levels for assistance grants to state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies fared well in this “doom and gloom” economic climate.
