Enhancement of individual organization equipment used for addressing violent crime and promoting trust within the community.

The Grand Forks Police Department (GFPD) and the Grand Forks County Sheriff’s Office (GFSO) will use the JAG funds to enhance individual organization equipment used for addressing violent crime and promoting trust within the community. The GFPD intends to utilize JAG funds to augment community security and safety through the addition of less lethal force option resources to allow for enhanced accessibility and more rapid field deployment. They intend to procure additional protective level 3 ballistics to be used for protections against small arms during tactical situations. The GFSO will use their JAG funds towards communications earpieces, personal protective ballistic helmets, and a speed enforcement LIDAR.
