Bossier City & Bossier Parish Sheriff 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).

Bossier City and Bossier Parish Sheriff, disparate jurisdictions, will use the FY 14 JAG award to fund overtime and to purchase law enforcement equipment and supplies. Bossier Police Department will serve as the fiscal agent. The goal is to support criminal justice initiatives. NCA/NCF
