Committee approves JAG grant and retirement firearms for two officers
Summary
The committee approved a Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) expected at about $80,000–$85,000 to support intelligence and crime-fighting efforts and authorized retirement firearms for two longtime officers; the JAG money is typically shared with the sheriff's department, the presenter said.
An agency official described a JAG (Justice Assistance Grant) the county will accept, estimating the award at between $80,000 and $85,000 and asking the committee to approve acceptance and distribution shared with the sheriff's department.
"The money is not known right now between 80 and 85,000," the agency official said, adding the funds would support intelligence gathering and crime-fighting missions. The committee moved and seconded approval and recorded a voice vote in favor.
Separately, the committee approved retirement firearms for two officers — a lieutenant and the waterfront director — as recognition for their years of service. The presenter described the request as an authorization for retirement firearms similar to prior retirements; the committee approved the item by motion and voice vote.
