2015 JAG Funds for County and City of Racine PD

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 effort proposed by the Racine County Sheriff's Office is to employ one Deputy to enhance security in-and-around the Racine County Courthouse while the City of Racine is proposing the purchase general policing surveillance equipment and supplies. NCA/NCF
