Agencies are presented under the categories of law enforcement, courts and court-related agencies, and courts and court-related agencies, and corrections. Under each of these broad categories, agencies are presented by jurisdiction (Federal, State, and local). Information on each agency encompasses local). Information on each agency encompasses general descriptive data; the public information or freedom of information office; budget information; performance statistics; special reports; inhouse publications, newsletters, and publicity releases; and policies and procedures, rules, and regulations.

Budget information is summarized for 1 year where this information is available. Budget document sources are cited.
