DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program provides states, tribes, and local governments with critical funding necessary to support a range of program areas including law enforcement, prosecution, indigent defense, courts, crime prevention and education, corrections and community corrections, drug treatment and enforcement, planning, evaluation, technology improvement, and crime victim and witness initiatives and mental health programs and related law enforcement and corrections programs, including behavioral programs and crisis intervention teams. The grant performance period runs 24 months; however, entities are not able to apply for the funds until approximately 12 months into the performance period causing the assurances to be approved retroactively.
The Sheriff's Office received notification of the County's FY 2025 Edward Byrne Memorial JAG Program award on July 31, 2026.
