San Jacinto Police DepartmentOfficer and Public Safety Equipment Grant

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 funds to purchase audio/visual equipment for the police department. The goal will be to help protect officers, provide prosecution with supportive evidence, and to ensure officer and public safety in the apprehension of criminals evading capture and the recovery of evidence that would otherwise be undiscoverable.
