2008 Justice Assistance Grant Application

The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program allows states, tribes, and local governments to support a broad range of activities to prevent and control crime based on their own local needs and conditions. JAG funds can be used for local initiatives, technical assistance, training, personnel, equipment, supplies, contractual support, and information systems for criminal justice.
As required by the U.S. Department of Justice-Office of Justice Programs, Athens-Clarke County must prepare a joint application and solicit citizen comments for suggestions on projects to be funded.
