Award Information
Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2024, $622,193)
The Sheriff of Alameda County joined with all the Police Chiefs of every Alameda County city and the District Attorney of Alameda County in a decision to allocate the FY2024 Byrne Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Local appropriation and to designate the choice of a lead agency. The unanimous decision was made for the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office to once again be the lead designated agency to apply for the JAG Program grants on behalf of the eight qualifying Alameda County cities and the County of Alameda. The Sheriff’s Office has developed a proposal to move forward with a grant application that allows all eligible members to receive their allocated share of the award with the disparate jurisdictions of Alameda County and Oakland with a realigned percentage of the federally recommended share of the FY2024 JAG Local award.
All Alameda County Consortium members have described proposed program activities for the four-year grant period in one or more of the following areas: law enforcement programs; prosecution and court programs; prevention and education programs; corrections and community corrections programs; drug treatment programs; and planning, evaluation, and technology improvement programs.
