Dear Ms. deLoach - Hartle:
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) was informed by the United States
Department of Justice (DOJ) that the anticipated Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) funds
allocated to the State of Florida will increase as a result of including additional unobligated funds
from previous federal fiscal years. We are pleased to announce that this results in an increase
of JAG Countywide funding for each county. The amount allocated for Monroe County has
increased to $83,375. The letters of approval representing agreement among at least 51
percent of all units of local government representing at least 51 percent of the county population
must show the new allocation of dollars to each project in the county.
The deadline for the on -line submission of the JAG Countywide applications is extended until
July 31, 2013. Please contact Planning Manager Janice Parish if this deadline poses additional
concerns, if you have any questions regarding changes with your JAG application, or you need
the application returned in the Subgrant Information Management On -Line (SIMON) system.
The Office of Criminal Justice Grants (OCJG) is available for assistance Monday through
Friday, 8:00 a.m. — 5:00 p.m. EDT. For issues relating to SIMON, please contact (850) 617-
1250 and reference the SIMON Help Desk.
