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).

Sutter County, serving as the fiscal agent with the disparate jurisdiction of Yuba City, will use its FY 2015 JAG Award funds to support the Technology Service Project of the Sutter County Sheriff's Office. These funds will pay for the ongoing monthly cost of keeping software and hardware updated. NCA/NCF
