The recipient will utilize the FY 16 JAG award to purchase the Callyo surveillance system for the Enforcement Division, and forensics equipment for the Crime Scene Unit of the Criminal Investigations Section. The purchase of this technology will aid the Narcotics Unit, Crisis Negotiation Team; and Property Unit in their investigations.
