DISCUSSION
The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) program provides federal
criminal justice funding to state and local jurisdictions and it is administered by the U.S.
Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). Since 2005 BJA has funded
over 24,000 JAG awards totaling over $7.6 billion. JAG awards are based on a statutory
formula that equally weighs the City's share of violent crime and population according to
statistics from the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS). BJA requires the County to
function as the applicant/fiscal agent to apply for, receive, and administer the funds on
behalf of all cities.
The Santa Ana Police Department recently applied for and has been awarded a grant in
the amount of $102,441 for the FY 2022 JAG program. The County accepted the 2022
JAG award on October 18, 2022, covering the performance period of October 1, 2021
through September 30, 2025. The Police Department will use JAG funding during the
performance period in the following four areas:
1. Police officer and professional staff overtime to augment gang prevention and
