Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program FY 2013 Local Soliciation

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 grantee will use the 2013 JAG funds for the cost of overtime of officers assigned to high crime areas and areas frequented by children (e.g., parks and special events), and for tactical/non-tactical training and related instructor courses. NCA/NCF
