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 Holly Hill, through the police department, will utilize the FY 2010 JAG funds to to procure equipment, technology, and material directly related to law enforcement functions. The Holly Hill Police Department will purchase night vision devices, an angle spotting scope, GPS tracking device, digital audio receiver, body wire and recorder, and binoculars.
