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 Encinitas will use JAG funds to support law enforcement communications. The city will pay for the on-going operation of the Regional Communications System (RCS). The RCS provides wireless communication to deputies and other law enforcement officers within the city and San Diego County.
