Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2008, $10,871)
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 Hutchinson Police Department will utilize its Fiscal Year 2008 JAG funds to purchase a Disaster Recovery/Redundant Backup Server that functions as a mirror image to the current Aegis Server and would be used to provide a duplicate image of the data in the case of a fire or other disaster.
The remaining funds will be used to purchase a Netmotion Server used for running Netmotion Wireless Server Software that allows a secure VPN connection between the agency network and all mobile units in the field.
Both servers will be used by the Hutchinson Police Department, Reno County Sheriff's Department, Nickerson Police Department, and Buhler Police Department.
