Summary:
Established to streamline justice funding and grant administration, the JAG Program supports a broad range of activities to prevent and control crime based on local needs and conditions. JAG blends the previous Byrne Formula and Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG) Programs to provide agencies with the flexibility to prioritize and place justice funds where they are needed most. Purpose Areas: JAG funds may be used for local initiatives, technical assistance, training, personnel, equipment, supplies, contractual support, and information systems for criminal justice, as well as criminal justice-related research and evaluation activities that will improve or enhance: (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; (7) crime victim and witness programs (other than compensation). Priority is for evidence-based or evidence-generating practices. No JAG funds may be expended outside of the JAG purpose areas. Oregon State Police (OSP) and Criminal Justice Commission (CJC) have focused the competitive portion of their JAG funding through the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program to assist units of local government perform law enforcement duties related to disrupting the manufacture, distribution, and trafficking of illicit drugs, particularly addressing the problem of methamphetamine, through the following efforts (in order of priority): (1) identifying, targeting, and removing controlled substances wherever illegally manufactured or grown; (2) arresting, prosecuting, and convicting traffickers; (3) protecting children from the safety and health risks associated with contact with traffickers both at home and at school; and (4) educating law enforcement, community groups, businesses, landlords / property managers, schools, and youth groups about the availability and risks of illegally manufactured or grown controlled substances in their communities. To this end, this program focuses on supporting local law enforcement agencies and drug tasks forces that involve both law enforcement agencies and prosecutors to enhance interagency coordination, intelligence sharing, investigation, and interdiction. 17 JAG Law Enforcement Grantees were awarded a second year of funding through September 30, 2010.
