Demopolis Police Technology Grant

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 disparate jurisdictions, consisting of the city of Demopolis and Marengo County, have been certified disparate and have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and will share the JAG award. The city of Demopolis will use their share of funds ($11,689) to purchase two Dell terminal servers. Marengo County will use their share of funds ($1,000) to purchase law enforcement equipment.
