Portage County Sheriff's Office - JAG Program 2024

The Portage County Sheriff Office will use 2024 JAG funds to implement the use of ankle bracelet GPS monitoring devices on our non-violent inmates who are in a work-release program. The award will help cover daily fees associated with the use of these monitors. These devices may also be used on inmates participating in our Inmate Work Program that involves the use of inmates for general cleaning, mowing, washing/waxing county vehicles, carpentry projects, assisting in the maintenance of the Justice Center, as well as working at other non-profit organizations in the county.
