Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2013, $12,011)
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 disparate jurisdictions will utilize the JAG award to support technology and law enforcement initiatives. Specific purchases will include updated records software and in-car cameras. A portion of grant funds will also be used to implement a paperless court reporting for the Floyd County Prosecutor's Office. The project goals are to increase essential law enforcement services throughout the County.
