Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program

The Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program is a federal initiative that provides funding to state and local governments to improve the criminal justice system. It supports a range of activities, including law enforcement, crime prevention, and community safety projects. The program aims to enhance public safety and reduce crime through various initiatives, such as technology upgrades, training for officers, and substance abuse prevention programs. By assisting localities with financial resources, JAG helps develop more effective justice strategies tailored to community needs, ultimately fostering safer environments and stronger support for justice initiatives.
