The City of Fontana, through the Police Department, will use their Fiscal Year (FY) 2008 JAG award to continue paying a portion of the salary and benefits cost for three police officers and two sergeant positions previously supported by FY 2007 JAG funds. These positions are assigned to patrol and traffic operations in the department to provide professional and efficient service to its citizens.
