Award Information
Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2013, $23,223)
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 Appleton, serving as the fiscal agent for the grant, will share the JAG funds with Outagamie County. The JAG funds will be to purchase law enforcement equipment. Specific purchases will include scheduling software, ballistic shields, and rifles. The goals of this project are to improve productivity through enhanced information technology, as well as enhance officer safety.
