Summary
JAG funds may be used for state and local initiatives, technical assistance, training, personnel, equipment, supplies, contractual support, and criminal justice information systems for criminal justice 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).
JAG funds may also be used to address key statutory requirements that may not be otherwise funded, including requirements from the state and federal level, such as addressing limited English proficiency requirements and other similar mandates.

Eligibility Details
Applicants are limited to units of local government appearing on the FY 2012 JAG Allocations List. To view this list, go to www.bja.gov/programs/jag/12jagallocations.html. For JAG program purposes, a unit of local government is: a town, township, village, parish, city, county, borough, or other general purpose political subdivision of a state; or, it may also be a federally recognized Indian tribe that performs law enforcement functions (as determined by the Secretary of the Interior). Otherwise a unit of local government may be any law enforcement district or judicial enforcement district established under applicable state law with authority to independently establish a budget and impose taxes. In Louisiana, a unit of local government means a district attorney or parish sheriff. In the District of Columbia or any United States Trust Territory, a unit of local government is any agency of the District of Columbia or federal government performing law enforcement functions for the District of Columbia or Trust Territories of the United States.
Deadline Details
Applicants must register in OJP’s Grants Management System (GMS) prior to submitting application for this funding opportunity. All registrations and applications are due by 8:00 p.m. eastern time on May 14, 2012.
Award Details
FY2012 Allocations: https://www.bja.gov/programs/jag/12jagallocations.html. All awards are subject to the availability of appropriated funds and to any modifications or additional requirements that may be imposed by law. While match is not required with the JAG Program, match is as an effective strategy for states and units of local government to expand justice funds and build buy-in for local criminal justice initiatives. If an applicant proposes a voluntary match amount, the match amount incorporated into the OJP-approved budget becomes mandatory and subject to audit.
