# §10385. Performance evaluation

- (a) **Monitoring components—** Each [program](/usc/34/60701.md?p=2), project, or activity funded under this subchapter shall contain a monitoring component, developed pursuant to guidelines established by the [Attorney General](/usc/34/10251.md?p=a-15). The monitoring required by this subsection shall include systematic identification and collection of data about activities, accomplishments, and [programs](/usc/34/60701.md?p=2) throughout the life of the [program](/usc/34/60701.md?p=2), project, or activity and presentation of such data in a usable form.
- (b) **Evaluation components—** Selected grant recipients shall be evaluated on the local level or as part of a national [evaluation](/usc/34/10251.md?p=a-10), pursuant to guidelines established by the [Attorney General](/usc/34/10251.md?p=a-15). Such [evaluations](/usc/34/10251.md?p=a-10) may include assessments of individual [program](/usc/34/60701.md?p=2) implementations. In selected [jurisdictions](/usc/34/20971.md?p=e-3) that are able to support outcome [evaluations](/usc/34/10251.md?p=a-10), the effectiveness of funded [programs](/usc/34/60701.md?p=2), projects, and activities may be required. Outcome measures may include crime and victimization indicators, quality of life measures, community perceptions, and police perceptions of their own work.
- (c) **Periodic review and reports—** The [Attorney General](/usc/34/10251.md?p=a-15) may require a grant recipient to submit to the [Attorney General](/usc/34/10251.md?p=a-15) the results of the monitoring and [evaluations](/usc/34/10251.md?p=a-10) required under subsections [(a)](#a) and [(b)](#b) and such other data and information as the [Attorney General](/usc/34/10251.md?p=a-15) deems reasonably necessary.
