Grant Program funds in the amount of $33,487.
DISCUSSION
The 2008 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) program is
the primary provider of federal criminal justice funding to state and local
jurisdictions. It is a formula grant that blends the previous Byrne
Formula and Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG) programs. JAG
requires a single unit of county government to function as the
applicant/fiscal agent to apply for, receive, and administer the funds on
behalf of the entire county. A memorandum of understanding designated the
County of Orange, Sheriff-Coroner Department as the lead agency for this
program.
For FY 2008, $33,487 has been allocated for Santa Ana. The City agreed to
allocate 49.5 percent of the total funding, or $30,138, to the Orange
County Pro-Active Methamphetamine Laboratory Investigative Team to
supplement their resources. JAG also allows the fiscal agent for each
county to use a portion of the award for costs associated with
administering the funds. The Orange County Sheriff-Coroner Department will
retain $3,348 (5.0 percent) for administrative fees. The remainder of the
funds in the amount of $33,487 will be utilized by the Police Department's
Career Criminal Unit to target and apprehend the most violent offenders and
reduce the number of gang related crimes through increased suppression
efforts.
