FY 15 JAG Program

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 the JAG award to support law enforcement upgrades. Specifically, funds will be used to purchase a server for upgraded in-vehicle video camera systems. The project goals are to reduce crime and enhance the adjudication process in the community by: upgrading in-vehicle digital camera recording device system technology to better preserve integrity of information derived after an incident, arrest, or recovery; and to be compatible equipment using current technology to address any situation involving public safety that may be encountered.
