Critical Police Facilities Security Enhancement

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 Glendale will use the JAG award towards technology upgrades. Specifically, funds will be used to replace all active video cameras and purchase other related law enforcement equipment and software throughout the Glendale Police Department. The goals of this project are to heighten capabilities and competencies that do not exist today and to fill the gap between the appropriate levels of security.
