FY14 JAG Program Equipment Purchase

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 upgrade security at the police station and provide upgraded equipment for officers. Funds will be used to purchase cameras and patrol rifes. The project goals are to increase officer and public safety. NCA/NCF
