Operation Neighborhood Takeback - Directed patrols in identified hotspots to proactively target offenders.

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 Port Huron will utilize the 2014 JAG award to provide overtime funds to the Operation Neighborhood Takeback officers. Officers will target violent crime areas to deter and detract criminal activity. NCA/NCF
