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 Cabot will use its Fiscal Year 2009 Justice Assistance Grant award to support the Cabot Police Department's Special Response Team by purchasing ballistic helmets with communication components, entry-level protective vests, and other tactical and protective gear. The Special Response Team is newly-formed and much of its equipment has been borrowed from and donated by other agencies. The equipment is showing wear and tear and the new purchases will better protect the officers.
