City of Clovis and Curry County License Plate Recognition System

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 Curry County and the city of Clovis will use their JAG award in the amount of $33,302 to purchase two license plate recognition systems. The city of Clovis, serving as the fiscal agent, will utilize one of the license plate recognition systems. The city of Clovis and Curry County agreed to share the second license plate recognition system.
