Vehicle Enhancement

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 Robeson County Sheriff's Office will utilize their JAG funds in the amount of $20,920 for vehicle enhancement. The Sheriff's office will purchase one 2008 Ford Crown Victoria vehicle to replace high mileage vehicles. This vehicle will be used for law enforcment patrols and will enhance public safety.
