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 Bay city and Matagorda County agreed to allocate all of the funds to Bay city. The city of Bay will use the Fiscal Year 2009 JAG award in the amount of $28,928 to enhance existing law enforcement efforts by purchasing an additional patrol vehicle. The police department's goal is to enhance crime enforcement activities and crime prevention within Bay City.
