Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2015, $3,240,581)

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 Washington Department of Commerce will use this Fiscal Year 2015 JAG award to maintain the state’s network of multi-jurisdictional drug and gang task forces, rather than dilute the impact of funds by investing in multiple and diverse program types. NCA/NCF
