Justice Assistance Grant Projects

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 comprising of Leon County and the city of Tallahassee will share the JAG award. Leon County will use their share of funds to purchase mobile data computers for the Leon County Sheriff's Office. The city of Tallahassee will use their share of funds to purchase digital recorders, mobile data computers, and surveillance, personal, protective, and forensic equipment for the city police department.
