The City of Dover will use its 2008 JAG award ($13,014) to enable the Dover Police Department to upgrade and enhance in-car digital recording devices and speed enforcement equipment in its patrol cruisers. The decision by the City to use the 2008 JAG funds in this way reflects a commitment to ensuring the health, safety and protection of the pedestrians and motorists of Dover.
