Award Description: The Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program funded under the Recovery Act is the primary provider of federal crimnal justice funding to state and local jurisdictions. Recovery JAG funds support all components of the criminal justice system, from multi-jurisdictional drug and gang task forces to crime prevention and domestic violence programs, courts, corrections, treatment, and justice information sharing initiatives. Recovery JAG funded projects may address crime through the provision of services directly to individuals and/or communities and by improving the effectiveness and efficiency of criminal justice systems, processes, and procedures. The City of Dayton, serving as the fiscal agent for this award, will share the Fiscal Year 2009 Recovery Act JAG award with 11 disparate jurisdictions within Montgomery County. In a disparate situation, the units of local government must apply for an award with a single, joint application. Each jurisdictions's allocation will be used for activities and projects that will provide meaningful and measurable outcomes consistent with the goals of the Recovery Act to include creating and retaining jobs, improving police and criminal justice services, and providing better service to citizens. The Dayton Police Department will immediately hire a crime analyst and two computer programmers, and other jurisdictions will retain programmming services to upgrade current technology. Planned projects include purchasing digital video cameras and mobile data computers for cruisers, enhancing the county's criminal justice information system, expanding a work program for juvenile offenders, upgrading and expanding law enforcment technology, and purchasing police cruisers.
