Delaware Department Of Justice

Delaware Department of Justice, operating through its Attorney General-Civil Division and related divisions, is a U.S. state government entity that has established itself as a significant recipient of federal grant funding for law enforcement and victim support initiatives. The department provides comprehensive legal and investigative services across multiple criminal justice domains, including fraud investigation and prosecution, victim assistance, specialized task forces, and civil rights enforcement. Registered in SAM.gov since February 2007, the department maintains active federal grant partnerships with various federal agencies to enhance Delaware's capacity to address serious crimes and protect vulnerable populations.

The department has demonstrated consistent engagement across diverse federal grant programs spanning multiple funding agencies. Through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Delaware Department of Justice operates a Medicaid Fraud Control Unit that investigates and prosecutes provider fraud and patient abuse or neglect in health facilities and non-institutional settings, with formula grant awards totaling substantial annual funding. The Office of the National Drug Control Policy has supported the department's participation in the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) program since at least 2022, providing project grants to dismantle and disrupt drug trafficking and money laundering organizations through coordinated law enforcement efforts. The Bureau of Justice Assistance has funded the department's Data Laboratory initiative, enhancing data analysis and case management capabilities, as well as a hate crimes prosecution program within the Division of Civil Rights and Public Trust, which includes victim support services and community outreach efforts. The Office of Victims of Crime has provided formula grants supporting victim compensation programs, while the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention has funded an Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force focused on investigating technology-facilitated crimes against children. Additionally, the department has received numerous sub-grant awards administered through the Executive Office of the Governor of Delaware, supporting specialized positions including sexual assault paralegals, victim witness social workers, child abuse and neglect advocates, and prosecutorial resources in Sussex and New Castle counties, as well as training and technology enhancements for prosecutors and investigative staff.
