FY 2023 Local JAG

Grant funding will allow for the purchase of additional portable radios, which are greatly needed to ensure that our Deputy Probation Officers are well equip to deal with the day-to-day operations.  Radio communication is crucial for officer safety.  In emergencies, time is of the essence; radios provide an immediate contact with other officers, ensuring rapid response.  Radios also allow for officers to coordinate their efforts, this is particularly useful when in operations that require teamwork, such as compliance checks.  Lastly, radios are better suited to work in areas where cell reception is poor, ensuring a continuous contact.
