Law Enforcement Mobile Technology 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 Harnett County sheriff's office will utilize JAG funds in the amount of $10,432 to enhance its information technology capability. Specifically, the sheriff's office will purchase six Dell laptop computers that will allow deputies to access important information data/records while in the field.
