Inter-agency Cooperation Team (ICT) Funding Initiative

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 city of Ypsilanti will use the JAG funds to offset the cost to support the Interagency Cooperative Team. The cost to transition S.W.A.T, hostage negotiations, K-9 units, administrative costs, and departmental training will be significant to become united in operational continuity. Funds will support salaries, radios, software, uniforms, vehicle supplies, and necessary training for officers.
