The Bannock County and Pocatello City JAG Program

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 Bannock County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) will use funds to purchase CrimePad, an on-scene case management application for their iPads. The Pocatello Police Department proposes to use their funds to enhance the Department’s Patrol/SWAT emergency equipment and emergency response programs. NCA/NCF
