PCPD Evidence Barcode and Secure Gun Rack 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).

The grantee will use the FY 2016 JAG funds to purchase dual gun racks and an evidence barcode system. The project goals are to provide officers easier accessibility to shotguns and patrol rifles while maintaining security of those weapons; and allow for quicker and more efficient check-in and check-out of evidence.
