DOJ JAG 2014/2015

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 JAG grant to support law enforcement initiatives. Specifically, funds will be used to purchase a Full Matrix Message Director (electronic sign board). A small portion of the JAG funds will also be used for overtime to support the Street Crime Units. The project goal is to enhance essential law enforcement services. NCA/NCF
