Lawrenceville Police Crime Investigation and Supression Initiative

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 Lawrenceville, through the police department, will use 2010 JAG funds to provide city police officers with the tools needed to investigate and suppress crimes within the city. The grant funds will be used to supplement existing Rapid ID systems, computer teleconferencing software and hardware, surveillance, and crime scene equipment.
