Frederick Technology and Equipment Program

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 the city of Frederick and the county of Frederick will share this 2010 JAG award in the amount of $78,272. The city of Frederick, serving as the fiscal agent, will use their funds to purchase radios, mobile/stationary RADAR, and first aid kits. The county of Frederick will use their funds to purchase bicycles and mobile data computers.
