Summary of Request:
The U.S. DOJ Edward Byrne JAG Program issues an opportunity for local government to apply for funds each year. The goal of the funding is to provide units of local government with additional personnel, equipment, supplies, contractual support, training, technical assistance, and information systems for criminal justice. The proposed award for Mendocino County is $16,156.
For the past several years, the Sheriff’s Office has applied for and received annual DOJ JAG awards. The grant funds will be used to replace aged computer equipment that is essential to front line law enforcement and support staff. The funding will allow the Sheriff’s Office to avoid degradation of public safety due to inadequate equipment. Approval of this item will commence the 30-day period during which citizens and neighborhood or community organizations will have the opportunity to comment on the award application.
On July 27, 2021, a letter requesting approval to submit the application was sent to the CEO as per County Policy 25, Section One, Number 4 to seek approval with follow up to the Board of Supervisors at their next available meeting.
