Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2013, $183,159)

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 program 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).

Contra Costa County, city of Antioch, and city of Richmond are listed as disparate jurisdictions under the FY 2013 Local JAG allocation chart. Each jurisdiction will utilize the JAG award to fund criminal justice initiatives. Specifically, grant funds will be utilized to purchase technologically updated computer equipment, pay overtime for deputies, partially fund a prosecutor, and retain a volunteer coordinator.
