Evaluation of Multi-Jurisdictional Task Forces in the United States, 1999-2000
Since the inception of the Edward Byrne Memorial State and
Local Law Enforcement Assistance Program in 1988, a large proportion of
formula grant program funds has been allocated by state administrative
agencies (SAA) to support multi-jurisdictional drug task forces (MJTFs).
MJTFs are a subset of law enforcement task forces that were created in
order to target the illegal distribution of drugs at the local and
regional levels. While many policymakers, researchers, and practitioners
express confidence in the task force approach generally, there remains
insufficient understanding of the possible community and organizational
impact of individual MJTFs and the kinds of evaluation methodologies
that can elicit such information. The goal of this project was to
identify several methodologies that could be used by state planning
agencies, task forces, and others to assess the work of MJTFs. This
project consisted of two surveys that were designed to ascertain the
extent to which state administrative agencies (SAAs) and
multi-jurisdictional drug task forces (MJTFs) collected various kinds of
process and outcome information and conducted evaluations of task
forces.
