Enhancement of the Key West Police Departments Infromation Technology Program

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 grant towards technology initiatives. Specifically, funds will be used to purchase computers and software to assist with submitting crash reports. These purchases will allow officers in the field an interface with the Crimes Division, reduce errors in entry submission, and increase efficiency overall in the collection of traffic crash data.
