Justice Grants Administration Issues Request for Comments on JAG Program

Tuesday, January 8, 2008
The District of Columbia Justice Grants Administration is requesting written comments on the District’s 2008 Application for the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program.

The District of Columbia Justice Grants Administration is requesting written comments on the District’s 2008 Application for the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program (42 U.S.C. 3750).  Proposed to streamline justice funding and grant administration, the JAG Program will allow the District Government to support a range of activities to prevent and control crime based on local needs and conditions. 

JAG funds can be used for District initiatives, technical assistance, training, personnel, equipment, supplies, contractual support, and information systems for criminal justice.

Projected use of funds for Fiscal Year 2009 JAG are as follows:

1. Juvenile Crime Prevention;
2. Reentry, and
3. Gun and Gang Violence Reduction

These priorities are consistent with the Federal purpose areas for the Justice Assistance Grant (JAG).  They also reflect crime and public safety statistics and issues for the District.  Please feel free to contact me if you have comments or questions. 

Written comments must be submitted by Monday, January 28, 2008, and should be addressed to:

Phyllis McKinney
Grants Program Coordinator
Justice Grants Administration
1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Suite 407
Wash., DC, 20004.

For further information, persons may contact Phyllis McKinney at (202) 727-1700.
