Crime Prevention Vehicle & Intelligence Software Project

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 JAG award to purchase law enforcement equipment. Specifically, funds will be used to purchase a new pick-up truck equipped with police radios and lighting to be used in the recovery and the transportation of illegal drugs and property from remote areas. Funds will also be used to purchase intelligence software to track criminal activities and help prevent crime. The project goal is to ehance criminal investigations. NCA/NCF
