Office Of The Attorney General

The Office of the Attorney General of Guam (OAG) is a U.S. government entity registered in SAM.gov since September 2009 that serves as Guam's chief legal authority and law enforcement agency. The OAG receives federal grant funding primarily through the Victims of Crime office to support victim assistance, crime victim compensation, and criminal justice initiatives across the island. As a prime grantee, the OAG has established itself as a critical recipient of federal grant support focused on enhancing victim services and prosecution capabilities in Guam's criminal justice system.

The OAG's federal grant portfolio demonstrates a concentrated focus on victim services, crime victim compensation, and prosecution support through multiple award vehicles from the Department of Justice's Victims of Crime program. Since 2021, the organization has received recurring formula grants and cooperative agreements totaling substantial federal investment, including two cooperative agreements: a $500,000 technology capacity building grant (FY 2022-2025) to implement centralized case management systems, online criminal injury compensation submissions, 24/7 teleservice platforms, and mobile advocacy initiatives; and a $750,000 cooperative agreement (FY 2022-2025) to reestablish the Marianas Human Trafficking Task Force in partnership with the Guam Coalition Against Sexual Assault and Family Violence. The OAG has also been the conduit for multiple sub-grant awards to partners including the Bureau of Women's Affairs and the Government of Guam's Department of Administration, supporting specialized prosecution units targeting domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and dating violence; sexual assault and violent crimes prosecution programs; video conferencing technology expansion for court proceedings and witness interviews; and prosecution case management information systems. These grants collectively reflect the OAG's role in delivering direct victim advocacy services through its Victim Services Center, enhancing prosecutorial capacity for violent crime cases, and modernizing Guam's criminal justice technology infrastructure to improve victim access and criminal justice response times.
