Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2010, $66,560)

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 Delray Beach will use the JAG award towards the Delray Beach Police Department Holiday Robbery Task Force. The Delray Beach Police Department will use funds towards overtime for officers who will be deployed in the targeted areas. These officers will provide high visibility patrols and serve as a crime deterrent. In addition, the presence of officers is expected to make citizens and visitors feel more secure.
