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 disparate jurisdictions consisting of Warren County and the city of Vicksburg will share this Fiscal Year 2010 JAG Local award in the amount of $52,471. In a disparate situation, the units of local government must apply for an award with a single, joint application. JAG funds will be used for the city of Vicksburg and Warren County to purchase one police vehicle with accessories for patrol purposes.
