Uniform Patrol Vehicle Purchase 2011

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 JAG funds to purchase two new uniform patrol vehicles to be used within the city limits of Marietta, GA. For the past two years, there have been no new uniform patrol vehicles purchased and there are none budgeted for the new Fiscal Year (FY) budget cycle. NCA/NCF
