Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES




The Law Enforcement Education


Program Is In Serious Financial Disarray


The Law Enforcement Assistance Administra-
tion, through its Law Enforcement Education
Program, gave $278 million in loans and
grants for higher education to individuals
working or planning to work in law enforce-
ment.  Inadequate controls and inaccurate
records caused financial and administrative
breakdowns. GAO estimates that

   --84 percent of those billed did not pay,

   --$18.2 million currently owed will not be
   collected,

   --about $2 million that should have been
   collected was not collected during one
   quarter of fiscal 1977, and

   --about 90 percent of the bills were in-
   correct.

In addition, GAO found that the reported
loans receivable balance of $149.6 million for
fiscal 1978 was overstated by $72.4 million.
(In May 1980, the program was transferred to
the new Department of Education.)

This report recommends improved controls
which could increase collections, restore
accounting system integrity, and guard against
future problems.                                                   112429
