KCRA Intelligence: Consulting to the Department of Justice

Unlike other federal departments in the US, such as the Department of Defense, the Department of Justice has experienced relatively stable budget growth over the past 10 years. However, the Department is keenly aware of the potential for budget downturn, and has taken preemptive measures to keep spending within reason and avoid potentially damaging cuts in its discretionary spending.

Unlike other federal departments in the US, such as the Department of Defense, the Department of Justice has experienced relatively stable budget growth over the past 10 years. However, the Department is keenly aware of the potential for budget downturn, and has taken preemptive measures to keep spending within reason and avoid potentially damaging cuts in its discretionary spending.

Specifically, for FY 2015, the DOJ is proposing $1.2 billion in offsets to keep overall costs of the Department in check. These cuts are spread out across multiple agencies, including the DEA ($75 million), FBI ($180 million), BOP ($158 million), US Attorney's Office ($30 million), and US Marshals ($34 million). These cuts are also coupled with rescissions of prior year balances.
