FY 2008 JAG Program

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 County of Kitsap will use their Fiscal Year 2008 JAG award in the amount of $26,273 to update and replace the current key system used to secure the Kitsap County Sheriff's Office's facilities. This purchase includes reader processor panels, electronic door strikes, proxy readers, and one standalone proxy system. Once installed, electronic cards will be the only way to gain access into the buildings.
