On-Line Crime Reporting 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 San Gabriel, through the police department, will use the JAG award to implement on-line crime reporting. On-line crime reporting will allow victims of selected minor crimes to conveniently file reports over the internet. Grant funds will be used to purchase a software package from Coplogic Inc. that links to an existing Records Management System which performs the on-line reporting function. Included in the costs are two years of usage, support, maintenance, and consulting fees for implementation.
