Apache Junction E-Ticket Transition Phase III

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 support law enforcement initiatives. Specifically, funds will be used to purchase e-ticket traffic citation units. The equipment will enable law enforcement officers to issue traffic citations on any handheld device, shortening the length of stops as well as increasing traffic enforcement efficiency, increasing officer safety, and decreasing time spent by court, legal, and enforcement personnel amending incorrectly entered traffic citations.
