Law Enforcement Equipment and Critical Training

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 Everett, through the Everett Police Department, will use its Fiscal Year 2011 JAG award to purchase training pistols for the firearms training simulator, tasers and cartridges, rifle magazines, patrol ballistic shields, digital cameras, non-lethal and gas delivery system enhancements, a Cellebrite UFED Mobile Phone Exam System, trunk vaults, LED flashlights, and training for SWAT, Anti-Crime Team, and Bomb technician officers.
