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 to fund the Martial Arts Gang Intervention and Mentoring Program and for police officer overtime associated with Collision Avoidance Training. The disparates of Oklahoma County, Del City and Midwest City will purchase patrol cars, protective equipment and vehicle video systems. Collectively, the overtime, mentoring programs and equipment purchases will serve to reduce crime and violence, as well as provide for officer and citizen safety.
