Stratford Police Department Traffic Enforcement & Technology Improvements 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 grantee will utilize the grant to support law enforcement initiatives. Specifically, funds will be used to purchase an automatic license plate reader (ALPR) to enhance traffic enforcement and proactive policing. The ALPR will increase policing services greatly in the community, as well as services provided through collaborations with the Department of Homeland Security.
