Incresaing Public Safety through Community Policing Overtime Activities

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).
Albemarle County will assist the Albemarle County Police Department's "Supporting Community Policing Efforts." This effort will focus on prevention and control of crime and will use funds to support overtime activities for community policing projects as well as activities by the police department. NCA/NCF
