Project abstract the city of warner robins is applying for funds from the edward byrne memorial justice assistance grant (JAG) program FY 2024 local solicitation in order to fund a project titled FY 2024 JAG grant law enforcement project. The amount of funds allocated for the application is $44,460.00. The warner robins police department (wrpd) and the houston county sheriffs office (hcso) have been declared disparate for this grant program and have agreed in a signed memorandum of understanding (MOU) to split the funds equally between the two agencies with the city of warner robins acting as the applicant/fiscal agent for the joint funds. The project goal of the FY 2024JAG grant law enforcement project is to improve and enhance local law enforcement programs. Wrpd and hcso will meet this goal by using grant funds to implement the project objective of supplementing the ability of wrpd and hcso to purchase law enforcement equipment. There is always a need for updated and/or additional equipment within the two agencies that isnt always possible with budgeted funds. Under normal circumstances, the agencies would have to wait and see if the needed equipment would make IT through the cuts in the next proposed budget cycle. Wrpds and hcsos efforts to serve the citizens of warner robins and houston county respectively with the highest standards of excellence will be enhanced with better equipped employees. The project strategies to be used to meet the goal and objective of the FY 2024 JAG grant law enforcement project are as follows: for wrpd to purchase software to be used by department personnel and for hcso to purchase a law enforcement vehicle to be used by department personnel. In order to meet the goal of this project, there will need to be coordination between wrpd and hcso. As stated previously, there is a signed MOU for this project that states there will be coordination between the two agencies in order to complete the required progress reports and financial reports for the grant.
