    Summary

    The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) program allows states and local governments to support a broad range of activities to prevent and control drug trafficking, drug-related crime, and violent crime. Based on their own local needs and conditions, agencies are provided with the flexibility to prioritize and place justice funds where they are needed most.

    JAG funds may be used for state and local initiatives, technical assistance, strategic planning, research and evaluation (including forensics), data collection, training, personnel, equipment, forensic laboratories, supplies, contractual support, and criminal justice information systems that will improve or enhance such areas as: 

    • Law enforcement programs.
    • Prosecution and court programs.
    • Prevention and education programs.
    • Corrections and community corrections programs.
    • Drug treatment and enforcement programs.
    • Planning, evaluation, and technology improvement programs.
    • Crime victim and witness programs (other than compensation).
    • Mental health programs and related law enforcement and corrections programs, including behavioral programs and crisis intervention teams

    In Vermont, the Department of Public Safety uses JAG funding to support the salaries of local law enforcement officers who participate on the statewide multijurisdictional drug task force run out of the Vermont State Police. The task force is composed of individuals from state and local law enforcement agencies. Recent priorities include heroin, opioids, prescription drugs, and crack cocaine interdiction.
