Crime Scene Barrier Protection/Patrol Equipment

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).

Mohave County will use the JAG funds to purchase law enforcement related equipment. The deployment of a crime scene barrier, rescue cellular response console, lapel microphones, and portable radios/digital recorders will provide officers with the tools needed to perform daily duties and provide continued support to the community.
