The disparate jurisdictions will utilize the JAG award to support law enforcement initiatives.

The Shelby County Sheriff's Office will serve as the fiscal agent for the award and will coordinate efforts with the Memphis Police Department. The project goal is to improve the criminal justice system in the Shelby County.
