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 Utica and Oneida County will use their FY 2010 JAG award in the amount of $56,902 on equipment and personnel. Both jurisdictions, in a joint effort, will use $38,090 in funds to cover overtime costs for Utica Police Department officers and Oneida County Probation officers. The Utica Police Department will use the remaining funds ($18,812) to purchase a surveillance camera, video recorder, traffic enforcement radars, and uniforms for the Mountain Bike Patrol Division.
