Hillsboro Police Department Property and Evidence Equipment Grant

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 this 2014 JAG award to purchase a Cyanoacrylate tank to chemically process items of evicence for latent finger prints and partially fund a fume hood to powder processs items of evidence for latent prints. The goal of this project is to enhance law enforcement capabilities. NCA/NCF
