Continuing Education, Conference Room Upgrade, Police-Mental Health Collaboration, and Disparate Jurisdiction Programs.

The disparate jurisdictions of the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office, the Moore Police Department, and the Norman Police Department will use JAG funds for continuing education, technology/facility improvements and equipment, and the groundwork for a Police Mental Health Collaboration (PMHC) program. Specifically, the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office will use JAG funds to purchase LIDARs to conduct traffic enforcement, the Moore Police Department will use JAG funds to purchase surveillance Equipment, and the Norman Police Department will use JAG funds to provide continuing education for forensic technicians, forensic specialists, and crime/intelligence analysts. Additionally, the Norman Police Department will use funding to upgrade our executive conference room furnishings and to pay a stipend to one graduated student from the University of Oklahoma's school of social work to research and develop a unique program for police response to incidents involving persons with behavioral health issues.
