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).

Flagler County will use its Fiscal Year 2009 JAG award to purchase equipment for the Flagler County Sheriff's Office SWAT team. The funds will be used to obtain headsets with attachments, night vision units, and miscellaneous supplies. The goal is to enhance the level of service provided to the community and increase the safety and security of the SWAT team members.
