Summary of Request

The U.S. Department of Justice Edward Byrne JAG Program issues an opportunity for local governments to apply for funds each year.

The proposed award for Mendocino County in 2023 is $15,913 and the application deadline is August 31, 2023.

 

Historically the Sheriff’s Office has applied for and received annual DOJ JAG awards.
