Leadership Curriculum for all Command Officers

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 Ann Arbor will utilize their FY 2009 JAG award ($40,881) to offer training to Ann Arbor Police Department officers. A consultant will be hired to perform a training needs analysis and execute the actual training. In addition, the funds will be used for a Continuous Quality Improvement Program and additional trainings will be rendered on an as-needed basis for staff.
