Mobile Data Computer Refresh

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 Municipality of Anchorage will use funds to continue refreshing its deployed compliment of 438 mobile computers. These computers are deployed to sworn officers and provide field functionality such as computer aided dispatch query, local and National Crime Information Center (NCIC) query, citation writing, collision reporting, police report processing and dispatching operations.
