SUMMARY:
The Pensacola Police Department will be submitting a grant application to the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Assistance, under the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Formula (Local Solicitation) to purchase (16) SWAT helmets with built-in communication headsets. The helmets currently used by SWAT officers have reached the end of their 10-year life span.
The JAG Program blends the previous Byrne Formula and Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEGB) Programs (under Title XI-Department of Justice Reauthorization) to provide agencies with the flexibility to prioritize and place justice funds where they are most needed. The JAG Program provides states, tribes and local governments funding to support a broad range of activities to prevent and control crime based upon local needs and conditions. Matching funds are not required under the JAG Program.
Among the grant requirements are that the Pensacola Police Department notify City Council of its intended use of the grant and to allow the citizens an opportunity to comment prior to the application submission.
