The database is divided into six broad topical layers: Criminal Enforcement, Civil Enforcement, Administrative Enforcement, Federal Funds (Money), People and Staffing, and Community Context. TRAC Express offers views of the available data from different perspectives that vary from layer to layer. Within each layer’s perspectives, users can view the data from angles that focus on the chosen topic in a particular geographic unit, rank, or compare results by chosen factor.

Criminal Enforcement provides information about the criminal workload of the U.S. Attorneys Offices. Civil Enforcement currently focuses only on the civil workload of the U.S. Attorneys Offices, not including cases brought by other Department of Justice divisions or solely by other federal agencies. The Administrative Enforcement section currently contains information about only IRS audit and collection activities. TRAC will add more databases to both Civil and Administrative Enforcement as FOIA requests produce data about the enforcement activities of other agencies.

Federal Funds (Money) provides information about the distribution of federal funds for the full range of federal spending. Find out what the government is spending, what it is actually paying for, and who benefits, in actual, per capita, or inflation adjusted dollars, with comparative rankings and trends across federal judicial districts, states, or counties.

Judges. TRACfed makes available data about the caseloads handled by federal district court judges. See a judge’s case list or statistical profile, including workload, disposition time, sentencing information, and then compare with other judges.

Prosecutors. TRACfed offers a view into the records of individual assistant United States attorneys, including: matters prosecuted, matters declined and why, ultimate disposition of the cases that go to court, year-by-year case lists. Salary data is available not only for assistant U. S. attorneys, but also for other Justice Department lawyers and for lawyers who work for other federal agencies.

Staffing. Federal Staffing makes available data about most of the executive branch’s civilian employees. Searching over 25 years’ worth of data, you can find comparative rates of employment over the years, how your region’s staffing and salary patterns compare with other regions or with the nation as a whole, and information about individual employees.

Web Locker: Users can set up Web Lockers to keep track of their requests. In TRAC Express, Web Locker keeps track of only the number of jobs a user has run in the current month, but not the output. Users of TRAC Analyzer can use Web Locker to store table output and data slices and to check the status of Analyzer job requests.
