Pomona Police Department Forensics Unit

The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program (JAG) allows states, tribes, and local governments to support a broad range of activities to prevent and control crime based on their own local needs and conditions. Grant funds can be used for state and local initiatives, technical assistance, training, personnel, equipment, supplies, contractual support, and information systems for criminal justice for any one or more of the following purpose areas: 1) law enforcement programs; 2) prosecution and court programs; 3) prevention and education programs; 4) corrections and community corrections programs; 5) drug treatment programs; 6) planning, evaluation, and technology improvement programs; and 7) crime victim and witness programs (other than compensation).

The City of Pomona Police Department will use their Fiscal Year (FY) 2008 JAG award to continue paying a portion of the salary and benefits cost for three Civilian Crime Scene Investigator positions previously supported by FY 2007 JAG funds. All other remaining salary, benefits, and operating costs for all three Civilian Crime Scene Investigator positions shall be provided by the City of Pomona. These three positions will help continue to enhance investigative abilities for the Police Department's Forensics Unit.
