Introduction

This Report’s Purpose and Reporting Process

This document combines the Department of Justice Annual Performance Report (APR) for FY 2015 and Annual Performance Plan (APP) for FY 2017. Combining our report on past accomplishment with our plans for the upcoming year provides the reader a useful, complete, and integrated picture of our performance. It represents a continuing step forward in the efforts of the Department to implement the tenets of performance-based management at the heart of the Government Performance and Results Modernization Act of 2010 (GPRAMA). Moreover, the APR/APP provides performance information, enabling the President, Congress, and the American public to assess the annual performance of the Department of Justice. The APR/APP is prepared under the direction of the Department’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and the Performance Improvement Officer (PIO).

The Department continues to enforce vigorously the broad spectrum of laws of the United States; its highest priority is the fight against terrorism. The Department’s FY 2014-2018 Strategic Plan is available on the Department’s website at http://www.justice.gov/jmd/strategic2014- 2018/index.html). The Strategic Plan includes 3 strategic goals and 18 strategic objectives that are mentioned throughout this report.
