City of Spartanburg's Enhancements to Overtime, Transport, and Traffic Enforcement

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 goals of the project are to enhance the city of Spartanburg’s response to crime and improve public safety through police services. The project will support law enforcement operations by funding overtime, purchasing cameras for the prisoner transport vehicle and radar units for traffic enforcement. NCA/NCF
