Wakulla County Clandestine Lab Mitigation Program

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).

Wakulla County will use the JAG funds to purchase equipment for the Wakulla County Clandestine Lab Mitigation Program. Specifically, grant funds will be used to purchase a trailer to store and transport all required equipment used in the mitigation of clandestine laboratories. In addition, safety equipment and laboratory supplies will be purchased.
