The city of Covington will use its Fiscal Year 2009 JAG award in the amount of $11,665 to implement an overtime program. The Covington Police Department will detail officers during sixty saturation hours in coordination with their normal shifts. Strategies will include walk-through business and community patrols. The officer presence and extra hours will heighten community awareness and support the low tolerance for criminal activity within the city of Covington.
