Enhancement of training equipment to train officers to effectively respond to active shooters or advanced threats.

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).

This JAG award will be used to purchase law enforcement equipment including head, neck and groin protectors, simunition glock pistols, marking rounds, conversion kits and waterproof storage cases. The goal of this project is to implement FX Simunition training into the Police Department's rapid response training. NCA/NCF
