National City Police Department's Equipment Procurement and Infrastructure Improvement Project

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 National City Police Department will use their 2012 JAG allocation to purchase heavy-duty portable shelves/racks for the proper storage of files and equipment; an Airsoft training weapons system; replacement filters for two Mystaire/Misonix Evidence Drying Cabinets; digital cameras and accessories for patrol officers; and the necessary equipment and technology to modernize or retro-fit the indoor shooting range.
