Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2010, $18,880)

The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program (JAG) allows states and units of local government, 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 Oroville, through the police department, will utilize the FY 2010 JAG funds for their Increase Community Access and Improve Transparency through Technology Project. The goals of the project include:
training one non-sworn employee in Crime and Intelligence Analysis through the California P.O.S.T. Certified program at Sacramento State University, which consists of 148 instructional hours and a 400-hour practicum;
providing their community with one year of Crime Mapping Service from CrimeReports.com; and replacing the Department's antiquated residential-style telephone system with an expandable business PBX telephone system.
