2016 JAG Collaboration Project

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).
DeKalb County will use this Fiscal Year 2016 JAG award to fund local initiatives, strategic planning, equipment and vehicles, supplies, training, personnel, equipment, and contractual support. The goal of the project is to support a broad range of activities aimed at preventing and controlling crime. NCA/NCF
