Type and Scope of services to be performed:
The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program is named for the New York City police officer who was killed in the line of duty in 1988 while protecting an immigrant witness who agreed to testify against drug dealers. The JAG program provides funding for areas such as personnel, training, equipment, and supplies.
In 2017 the U.S. DOJ announced that more than two hundred sanctuary cities will be disqualified from receiving Byrne grants if their noncompliance with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement continues. Several cities challenged the change in the courts, won, and were subsequently supported by the appeals court. However, this was not a unilateral outcome. The US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit overturned the New York ruling, making it possible the case will go the Supreme Court.
This grant from the US Department of Justice will continue to provide funding to support a one-year ShotSpotter subscription for approximately 3.6 square miles of coverage (not an expansion); license plate screws that will be made freely available to the public; and funding to the DA’s office for a specialty unit restitution technician and a program assistant. (Fund: 12220 Federal Grants - Police Department, Cost Center: 3511300 Police Department Administrative Management.)
