Fiscal Year 2014 JAG 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 utilize this JAG award to support law enforcement initiatives. Funds will be used to purchase portable emergency area-lighting system, mannequins, replacement lungs, breathing masks for use in adult and infant Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) training and
Automated Electronic Defibrillator (AED) Practice Trainer for training. The goals of this project are to enhance and improve SWAT Entry capabilities as well as Scene Security and Evidence Processing which will support officer safety. NCA/NCF
