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 Lynchburg supports the Lynchburg Police Department to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of evidence recovery through the use of digital in-car video recording equipment. Funds will be used to improve the capability of the police department and the Lynchburg Office of the Commonwealth Attorney to increase offender accountability, the overall safety of the public and the effectiveness and efficiency of the criminal justice process through computer tablet technology.
