Award Information
Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2012, $17,320)
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 JAG award to continue the Police Activities League (PAL) program, which keeps youth engaged in a positive program of athletic and educational enhancement. The goal is to maintain the current level of service to the community and possibly expand the number of participants. The PAL program coordinates their efforts with police officers assigned to the schools and assisting in after school events. Funds will be used to support a portion of the Executive Director's salary.
