Award Information
Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2010, $54,280)
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 El Cajon will use FY 2010 JAG funds to purchase essential law enforcement equipment for its police department. Specific grant funded purchases will include Tasers, handheld radios, ammunition, helmets, identification vests, and a banner display system and advertisement photography for officer recruitment. The goal of this project is to provide officers with the necessary tools to efficiently perform assigned duties.
