Law Enforcement Smart Policing

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).
To comply with the state mandated National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) requirement, JAG funds will be used for system upgrades and to continue aircard service for in-field computers. The city will also purchase ammunition that will allow officers to receive additional firearm training. NCA/NCF
