FY24 JAG Program in County of Mercer

The Mercer County Prosecutor's Office, Trenton Police Department and Hamilton Police Department will use funds to re-affirm their commitment to aggressive criminal investigations through increased patrols, technology improvements, enhanced equipment and intelligence driven policing. JAG funds will be shared between these entities and used to hire personnel and purchase equipment that will be used in crime suppression; investigation and prevention efforts. The Mercer County Prosecutor's Office will administer the funds on behalf of the joint applicants. The Mercer County Prosecutor's Office portion of the grant funds will be used to hire interns to continually update our gang database (which is available to all of the police departments in Mercer County) in order to provide police officers with up-to-the-minute information about gang activity and affiliations.
