Law Enforcement Training

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 Juneau Police Department will use FY 2016 JAG funds to support training needs of their 55 sworn officers and 35 civilian employees. Training will cover topics such as crash reconstruction, (including certification of one investigator in this topic), communications, leadership, National Incident-Based Reporting System and report building for police support services staff.
