FY2012 State of Michigan Byrne JAG

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: law enforcement programs; prosecution and court programs; prevention and education programs; corrections and community corrections programs; drug treatment and enforcement programs; planning, evaluation, and technology improvement programs; and crime victim and witness programs (other than compensation).

This supplemental JAG award represents $96,023 in JAG funds that were returned to BJA under a previous JAG grant award. The Michigan Department of State Police will use the JAG funds under this supplemental grant award to provide state and local governments with funding for projects that will assist with the Governor's Smart Justice initiative and provide needed assistance in areas which can offer outcomes most consistent with the goals of JAG. Program areas available for funding include multi-jurisdictional drug task forces, priority population drug courts, juvenile-focused community policing/community prosecution, data driven approaches to crime and traffic safety, and high crime cities prosecution efforts. The Michigan Department of State Police will also use a portion of the JAG funds to support grant-related travel, conferences, workshops, supplies, and contractual services.
