Award Information
Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2010, $24,007)
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 and county of Fond du Lac will use JAG funds to support essential law enforcement services. Through the grant, the city will purchase computers to be housed in the police department's patrol vehicles, criminal justice software, portable radios for patrol officers, and digital cameras for investigations. Firearms training will also be supported. Though the county is eligible for a portion of the award, all funds will be directed to the city's initiative. For grant administration purposes, the city will serve as the fiscal agent for this award.
