One of two major grant programs administered by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), the State and Local Assistance for Narcotics Control Program (Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986) provides subsidies to State and local criminal justice agencies to fund programs which improve the apprehension, prosecution, adjudication, detention, and rehabilitation of drug offenders.

The purpose areas of the Formula Grant Program are outlined followed by an explanation of the guidelines available.
