Burbank Police Department Community Room Audio/Visual Communications Enhancement

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 city will use the JAG funds to upgrade a police community room. The city will purchase audio/visual equipment in order to provide a more effective way to communicate with the community, conveying information and stimulating conversation. The upgrades will increase outreach, engagement, and education. NCA/NCF
