Enhancement of Patrol and Detective Divisions of the Brunswick Police Department

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 this JAG award to purchase law enforcement equipment. Specific purchases include body worn cameras, data docking system, a window tint meter, printer, alcohol sensor, and other law enforcement equipment. The goals of the project are to enhance police investigations and officer safety. NCA/NCF
