Re: Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2012 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance
Grant (JAG) Program — JAG Countywide — State Solicitation
Dear Mayor Rice:
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) anticipates an award from the
United States Department of Justice for FFY 2012 JAG funds. FDLE will distribute these
funds in accordance with the JAG Countywide distribution provisions of Chapter 11 D-9,
Florida Administrative Code.
FDLE has set aside $82,496 funds for use by all units of government within Monroe
County. The enclosed Program Announcement provides an overview of these funds
which can be used by local units of government to support a broad range of activities to
prevent and control crime and to improve the criminal justice system. Please note that
the Program Announcement includes information from the U.S. Department of Justice
relating several areas of national focus and its priorities to help maximize the
effectiveness of the Byrne/JAG funding.
As a condition of participation in this program, the units of government in each county
must reach a consensus concerning the expenditure of these funds. This consensus
must include the projects to be implemented as well as the agency responsible for such
implementation.
Developing such consensus will require someone to exercise leadership and assume a
coordinating role in the development of applications for these funds. FDLE
recommends that the Board of County Commissioners assume this responsibility. In
the event the county declines to serve in this capacity, the Department will request the
governing body of each municipality in the county, in descending order of population, to
serve as the coordinating unit of government.
Service - Integrity - Respect - Qtiatity
The Aonorable David Rice
