Crime Prevention, Education and Youth Recreation Project

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 grantee will use the award to fund law enforcement initiatives. Specifically, funds will be used to purchase supplies, provide training, and cover overtime costs related to youth crime prevention programs. The programs and activities funded will enhance the safety, environment, quality of life, and economic vitality, providing a secure environment for officers to interact with and educate local youth.
