Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2024, $50,305)

The purpose of this project is to strengthen community and reduce violent crime in the City of Lynn. The Lynn Police Department will use FY24 JAG funds to cover both overtime costs for our Central Business District Bicycle Unit officers and technology costs associated with wireless access expenses and upgrades. Our Central Business District officers will work closely with community stakeholders to identify problems and improve the quality of life in the community.  In addition, improved wireless access will increase public safety and allow our officers to make timely accurate decisions during investigations. These initiatives will improve the quality of life for citizens of Lynn,  make the business district safer and also make the area more attractive for new businesses to come to Lynn.
