What the document says

“The Attorney General should require all U.S. Attorneys to develop a jurisdictional-specific plan”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 552

The chapter asks that the plans be developed wherever possible in coordination with state and local law enforcement to reduce violent crime in each district, and that the Attorney General then hold each US Attorney accountable for achieving actual results.

What the document actually says

“The Attorney General should require all U.S. Attorneys to develop a jurisdictional-specific plan”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 552
That sentence, in plain words

Each top prosecutor should write a plan. It should fit their own area.

What this is about

Each region has a top federal prosecutor. The book says each should write a crime plan. Then they would answer for the results.

Read against the documents indexed here on August 26, 2026, and nothing was found that answers this. Executive Order 14164 of January 20, 2025 directs the Attorney General to prioritize public safety and the prosecution of violent crime, to encourage state attorneys general and district attorneys to adopt aligned policies, and to have federal law enforcement coordinate with state and local law enforcement. It requires no district-specific plan from any United States Attorney and sets no accountability for results, which is what the chapter asks for. Executive Order 14339 reaches a single district, directing the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia to hire prosecutors for violent and property crime. That is a record of a search, not a finding that nothing has happened: an act this site does not hold, or one that answers the proposal in words unlike its own, would not be caught by it.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
