Award Information
Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2009, $101,822)
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).
Montgomery County will use the JAG funds to improve officer safety and reduce the risk of injury within the sheriff's office. Specifically, the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office will purchase tasers for field and courtroom enforcement personnel. These tasers are safer alternatives to many conventional weapons in controlling dangerous or combative individuals.
