Police Patrol Vehicle Project

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 city of Hialeah, through the police department, will use the JAG award towards law enforcement initatives. Specifically, funds will be used to purchase five new patrol cars for the Hialeah Police Deparmtent patrol fleet. These vehicles will allow for more reliable transportation, safety, and increased police vigilance and presence in the city.
