Oklahoma City, Midwest City, Del City & Oklahoma County FY14 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).

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma County, Del City, and Midwest City, disparate jurisdictions, will utilize the FY14 JAG award to support law enforcement initiatives. Oklahoma City Police Department will serve as the fiscal agent. Funds will be used to purchase law enforcement equipment and supplies. The project goals are to increase essential law enforcement services and enhance officer safety. NCA/NCF
