About this program
The Department of Justice funded 3,344 awards totaling $771.2 million in federal dollars under the Recovery Act Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program (CFDA 16.804) through June 2010, with no recent grant opportunities currently open.
This program has been inactive since 2010. The portfolio concentrated almost entirely in 2009, with 3,342 awards made that year and only 2 in 2010. The most recent grant award dates to June 1, 2010—over sixteen years ago. No current solicitations are present in the source.
The Recovery Act JAG program funded state and local criminal justice initiatives across law enforcement, prosecution, courts, corrections, crime prevention, drug treatment and enforcement, and victim services. Recent awards emphasize equipment acquisition and technology modernization: patrol vehicle purchases, mobile data terminals, in-car digital video systems, license plate recognition cameras, communications upgrades, surveillance equipment, and E-911 system replacements. Selected awards also supported personnel retention, specialized units such as SWAT teams, gang suppression, and child advocacy centers. Representative funded projects include a $1.8 million award for a Justice Assistance Grant Program (Project Grant 2010SBB90089), a $248 thousand award for an ARRA Justice Assistance Grant Program (Project Grant 2010SBB90031), and a $168 thousand Cooperative Agreement investigating officer and suspect injuries in police use-of-force incidents (Cooperative Agreement 2009SQB9K016).
Awards were predominantly Project Grants (99 percent, 3,324 awards) with a minimal Cooperative Agreement component (1 percent, 20 awards). The Department of Justice was the sole funding agency. Award sizes varied widely, from under $11 thousand to approximately $1.8 million, with most individual awards in the $10 thousand to $60 thousand range. Combined federal and non-federal dollars obligated totaled $790.2 million, indicating modest cost-sharing from recipients.
This program is effectively expired and not a viable pursuit vehicle for current federal grant business development.
Objective and description
- Objective
The Recovery Act - JAG programs allow states and local governments to support a broad range of activities to prevent and control crime and to improve the criminal justice system. The Recovery Act - JAG program will solicit applications from eligible States, territories, tribes, and units of local government for state and local initiatives, technical assistance, training, personnel, equipment, supplies, contractual support, and information systems for criminal justice, as well as research and evaluation activities that will improve or enhance law enforcement programs related to criminal justice such as: prosecution and court programs; prevention and education programs; corrections and community corrections programs; drug treatment and enforcement programs; planning, evaluation, and technology improvement programs; and crime victim and witness programs (other than compensation). In addition to fulfilling JAG program-specific purposes, projects funded under the Recovery Act should be designed to further one or more of the general purposes of the Recovery Act, which are to preserve and create jobs and promote economic recovery; to assist those most impacted by the recession; to provide investments needed to increase economic efficiency by spurring technological advances in science and health; to invest in transportation, environmental protection, or other infrastructure that will provide long-term economic benefits; and to stabilize State and local government budgets, in order to minimize and avoid reductions in essential services and counterproductive State and local tax increases.
