Byrne JAG Program
16.738
Goal: Provide states, tribes, and units of local government with additional personnel, equipment, supplies, contractual support, training, technical assistance, and information systems for criminal justice. Objective(s): The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) is a formula grant program that provides states, tribes, and local governments with critical funding necessary to support a range of program areas including law enforcement; prosecution and court; prevention and education; corrections and community corrections, including reentry; drug treatment and enforcement; planning, evaluation, and technology improvement; crime victim and witness initiatives; and mental health programs and related law enforcement and corrections programs, including behavioral programs and crisis intervention teams. JAG also supports the implementation of state crisis intervention court proceedings and related programs or initiatives, including but not limited to mental health courts, drug courts, veterans courts, and extreme risk protection order programs. JAG project grants may address precipitous increases in crime and/or training and technical assistance, and may be specified for a particular criminal justice use such as compliance with the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) or the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA). Note: BJA is currently re-developing its key performance measures for the JAG program.
