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).

Dillon County will use the 2009 JAG funds to purchase law enforcement equipment for the Dillon County Sheriff's Department. Specific purchases include a police cruiser, push bumpers, a stun cuff, ICOM receivers, and crime prevention materials. The project goals are to increased inmate security, communications, and crime prevention efforts within the community.
