The disparate jurisdictions consisting of the city Appleton and county of Outagamie will share this Fiscal Year 2010 JAG award. The city of Appleton, serving as the fiscal agent, will use its share of this award to purchase specialized equipment to support Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT), secure patrol equipment assets, and support monitoring Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) screens for the Appleton Police Department.
Outagamie County will allocate its share of this award to the Sheriff's Department to support a comprehensive Abatement Program. The Sheriff's Department will use the funding to purchase wearable audio-video cameras. These cameras will allow County officers to obtain valuable and useful evidence in the abatement process.
