Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2010, $12,087)

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 Bridgeton will use 2010 JAG funds to purchase law enforcement equipment. More specifically, the city of Bridgeton will purchase duty weapons for the Police Department. The goal is to purchase seventy five new duty weapons using the current stock as trade-ins.
