Funding for Local Law Enforcement
Our friends at The Police Chief Magazine sent us some great information on funding for us to share with our customers. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which includes the Edward R. Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Formula and the Bryne-JAG Competitive Program, are available for state and local agencies to take advantage of. The Edward R. Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Formula offers a total of $2 billion. To check out the funds allocated to jurisdictions in your state, go to http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/BJA/recoveryJAG/recoveryallocations.html. The Byrne-JAG Competitive Program offers a total of $225 million. These funds may be used by local and state law enforcement for things such as training, personnel, supplies, and equipment. You can apply directly to the Department of Justice. The deadlines for these grants are approaching fast (5/18), so if your department is interested check out http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/BJA/recoveryJAG/JAGrecoveryLocal.pdf. Applications must be submitted to the US Department of Justice.
