Manteca City JAG Project

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 Manteca's Police Department will purchase a police patrol vehicle. The funds will also allow the Manteca Police Department to partially fund the related equipment needed for the replacement patrol vehicle. Such equipment includes: an emergency light bar, siren, police markings, partitions, prisoner seats, a computer and in-car video.
