FY 2013 Local JAG Program

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).

The City of Midland will utilize the FY 2013 Local JAG funds to purchase law enforcement software. Specific purchases include the Law Enforcement Automated Personnel System (LEAPS) software and On-Target Internal Affairs software. Midland County will utilize the JAG award to support law enforcement initiatives. Funds will be used to purchase ammunition for tactical team training.
