County Of Jasper

County Of Jasper, doing business as Jasper's Sheriff Department, is a U.S. local government entity registered to receive federal grant awards since May 26, 2009. As a county-level organization, it primarily serves the residents of Jasper County, Illinois, providing law enforcement and public safety services. The Sheriff's Department plays a crucial role in maintaining order, enforcing laws, and ensuring the safety and security of the local community. While the department itself has limited direct federal grant activity, it operates as part of the broader County of Jasper structure, which has been involved in various federally funded programs across different divisions.

Through federal grant sub-awards, Jasper's Sheriff Department has been involved in COVID-19 related activities, receiving a sub-award from the Illinois Emergency Management Agency and Office of Homeland Security. This indicates the department's role in emergency management and public health crisis response. The Jasper County Health Department, another division of the County of Jasper, has been more extensively engaged in federal grant sub-award programs. These include the Social Services Block Grant (SSBG) and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), both administered through sub-awards from the Illinois Department of Human Services. The health department has also participated in substance abuse prevention and treatment services through the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant (SABG). These sub-awards demonstrate that while the Sheriff's Department focuses on law enforcement, the county as a whole is involved in a wide range of social services, public health, and community support programs funded through federal grants.
