The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program (JAG) allows states and units of local governments, including tribes, to support a broad range of activities to prevent and control crime based on their own state and 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, including 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 and enforcement programs; 6) planning, evaluation, and technology improvement programs; and 7) crime victim and witness programs (other than compensation).
The city of Leesburg will use the JAG funds to purchase necessary equipment and to provide adequate staffing for the police department. Specifically, funds will be used towards overtime for sworn law enforcement personnel and any overtime involving sworn personnel to enhance public safety. In addition, funds will be used to install a motorized rollup door in the evidence storage section.
