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).
Gadsden County, through the sheriff's office, will utilize the FY 2010 JAG funds for technological improvements. The Gadsden County Sheriff's Office will increase its efficiency and communications of law enforcement by purchasing a digital recording system. The recording system will enable officers and dispatchers to improve the quality of recorded information while reducing the amount of time spent on clerical matters.
