Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2023, $7,241,121)
PCCD will use 2023 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) funds to continue support for and implement projects that support emerging issues and coincide with one or more of the Goals and Objectives from the 2021-2025 PCCD Strategic Framework. The Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD) 2021-2025 Strategic Framework was developed using the priorities gathered from the advisory committees that support the Commission. These include the Children’s Advocacy Center Advisory Committee, County Adult Probation and Parole Advisory Committee, Criminal Justice Advisory Committee, Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Committee, Mental Health and Justice Advisory Committee, and Victims’ Services Advisory Committee. The Strategic Framework for the PCCD is the primary method for prioritizing agency-delivered criminal justice, juvenile justice, and victim services that benefit citizens in Pennsylvania’s communities and support the tenets of the FY 23 JAG State Program to prevent and/or reduce crime and violence and to improve the fair administration of the justice system.
