Patrol Vehicle Mobile Video Upgrade

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 disparate jurisdictions consisting of the city of Anderson and Madison County will use their JAG award for law enforcement purposes. The city of Anderson Police Department will use its portion of the award to upgrade their in-car camera infrastructure. The Madison County Sheriff's Office will use its portion of the award to purchase four new in-car video systems.
