Summary
The Federal Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program provides criminal justice funding to state and local jurisdictions. The Kansas Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (KCJCC) oversees the JAG Program in the State of Kansas. JAG funds are intended to support the following purpose areas:
- Law enforcement programs;
- Prosecution and court programs, including indigent defense;
- 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); and
- Mental health programs and related law enforcement and corrections programs, including behavioral programs and crisis intervention teams.
The KCJCC's priorities for FY 2025 Justice Assistance Grant programming include:
- Comprehensive response to mental health;
- Comprehensive response to substance use (opioids/methamphetamine/other drugs) disorders; and
- Intimate partner violence and crimes against children.
The Strategic Plan also includes the greatest need identified by each stakeholder group as follows:
- Law Enforcement: Drug enforcement
- Prosecution and Court: Specialty courts (drug, veteran, mental health, treatment, family, youth)
- Community Corrections:
- Reentry
- Special population programming: i.e., geriatrics, incarcerated parents, veterans, females who have committed crimes, youth who have committed crimes
- Behavioral Health: Housing
- Victims Services: Family violence / interpersonal violence advocacy
- Juvenile Justice: Juvenile delinquency / at-risk youth prevention
Applicants should review the Kansas Statewide Strategic Plan in its entirety and consider how the proposed JAG project fits into the described KCJCC priorities and the areas of greatest need identified by each stakeholder group
