Executive Summary
Staff recommends the acceptance of the 2024 Edward Byrne Justice Assistance Grant in the amount of $181,099 for the purpose of creating a real-time information center within the Police Department and purchasing replacement police vehicle radios.
Background
The San Bernardino Police Department is a sub-recipient of the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) through the County of San Bernardino. The JAG grant is a formulary grant that is allocated based on population and a three-year average of reported violent crime. The City of San Bernardino has been designated a disparate jurisdiction, which allows the City to receive one-and-one-half of the County Allocation. San Bernardino County serves as the grant recipient, administrator, and fiscal agent for the JAG program funds and is allowed to charge each jurisdiction a 5% administrative fee from the jurisdiction's allocation. JAG grants are cash grants paid in advance with no requirement for matching funds.
